Unleashing Innovation Through AI
Palm Springs, CA | June 9th – 11th, 2025
The Liberty LaunchPad is a two-day program for college students (ages 18+) ready to build, pitch, and innovate. Student teams will use cutting-edge AI tools to design tech-based solutions to educational challenges—grounded in the principles of entrepreneurship and free-market thinking.
- Connect with visionary entrepreneurs and thought leaders
- Develop tangible tech solutions to real-world problems
- Compete in a gamified format where your work earns you the tools to go further
- Join a community of passionate builders and future leaders
HOW IT WORKS
The Hackathon is structured around three key stages:
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Define an education-related challenge and pitch a market-based solution.
PROTOTYPE BUILDING
Create a functional tech demo using earned resources.
FINAL PITCH
Present your solution to a panel of judges and peers.
Teams begin the day with a limited number of AI Tokens, which can be used to access help from tools like Grok or Claude. As teams progress, they earn Hackathon Credits from judges based on creativity, feasibility, and innovation—simulating a real market where great ideas gain traction.
