## UCODE25: Talking AI

AI is everywhere—on the news, in boardroom discussions, and at the heart of the largest technological shifts happening today.  
   
But with developments happening at lightning speed, it can feel overwhelming to keep up, let alone figure out where to start.  
   
At UCODE25 we cut through the noise.

Starting with the basics: What is AI? Why is it such a game-changer? And most importantly, **how can our businesses realistically and effectively start using AI into our ways of working?**

## Prompting Challenge

A fast-paced competition where teams solve real AEC problems using AI prompts instead of code. It’s all about creativity, clarity, and collaboration—no coding required.

🧠 Teams tackle 4–5 real-world challenges from different use cases by writing effective prompts.

Each team of 4–5 participants has 4 hours to build a meaningful solution.

No prep needed—just show up and start prompting!
