10 participants.
Zero code background.
10 deployed apps.

Volta Foundation partnered with me to run Atlantic Canada's first AI build sprint. People curious about AI – founders, professionals, career changers – came in with ideas and left with working products.

What they built

  • An app to catalogue decades of microdata
  • A tool helping clients with ADHD navigate systems
  • A non-profit program navigation app
  • A client intake portal for a tax law practice
  • An immigration services support tool

All built by people who had never written code.
