Back to School went offline for a weekend of building across India.

The Bengaluru BuildStation was where the fellows met each other, worked on their products, and got help from the builders around them. It was open to the wider Bengaluru AI community too: anyone could bring what they were building and spend a few focused hours shipping.

Back to School is a 15-day fellowship by ai & weekends where 50 selected builders pick one real problem, build with AI, find users, and launch publicly.

## At the BuildStation

- Met the Bengaluru fellows and worked alongside other AI builders
- Got feedback on ideas and products
- Found collaborators and early users
- Got unstuck on product, code, design, or go-to-market

## Schedule

- 12:00 PM: Meet the fellows and community
- 12:20 PM: Introductions and what everyone is building
- 12:45 PM: Focused build hours
- 2:30 PM: Product demos, feedback, and conversations
- 3:00 PM onwards: More building and hanging out

Hosted at Dodo Payments, Indira Nagar, Bengaluru.
