Create for Change

Tackle a real challenge facing Bay Area communities such as housing, education, or mental health. Build an AI-powered solution that helps people and shows what creative tech can really do.

The top five teams will present live on December 6 at BRIDGEGOOD’s Amplify Together Benefit in front of tech executives, investors, and community leaders who want to support new talent.

 

Mentorship and Support

Get one-on-one guidance from industry mentors. Learn how to refine your idea, stay motivated, and make your work stand out while enjoying good food and creative energy in the studio.

 

Professional Portfolio Piece

Walk away with a real project you can demo, showcase on LinkedIn, and feature in your portfolio or job interviews as proof of what you can design and build.
