Last night, Val had the privilege of serving as a judge for Huskies Hack at St. Cloud State University, and she was truly impressed by the level of talent!

The teams demonstrated strong coding practices (they even incorporated Docker, Inc), thorough documentation (some with Mermaid Chart), and innovative AI implementations—including the use of DeepSeek AI—all while fostering an incredible spirit of collaboration and camaraderie.

It was inspiring to see the students push the boundaries of what’s possible, leveraging technology to solve real-world problems with creativity and precision.

Kudos to the organizers, mentors, and participants for making this event such a success! 🙌

Everyone is hyping the hot new AI tool, but what if you could learn how all of those hot new tools work and then make something of your own?

That's what we want.
More creators. More authentic tech. More people making their own thing - telling their own stories - sharing their own passion.

Our next Innovate with AI session is 2/22.
Be there and make something.
