Cooley Landing Park // 2100 Bay Rd, East Palo Alto, CA 94303
On Nov 21, StreetCode students will join forces with graduate business students from IMD Business School in Switzerland for a one-of-a-kind cultural exchange: the AI Shoe Design Challenge. For three years, global leaders have come to StreetCode to learn about Silicon Valley innovation and equity in tech. Now, they’re meeting our students directly—collaborating through design, creativity, and AI. Participants will engage in a fast-paced challenge to reimagine sneaker culture using cutting-edge tools. Along the way, you’ll share your story, grow your network with an international audience, and see firsthand how tech can bridge communities. It’s collaboration, innovation, and culture—StreetCode style.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll step into the world of product and website design using AI tools like Lovable and Midjourney. No coding or design experience required — just bring your ideas! We’ll start with a quick intro to UX/UI design, then dive straight into building. You’ll sketch an idea, turn it into a working prototype, and create custom visuals along the way. By the end, you’ll walk away with your very own app or website concept — built in just two hours.

Stanford University - Address To Be Announced
We’re back at Stanford on Nov 5 with a special StreetCode @ Stanford Pop-Up! This fall, we’re previewing our upcoming course on the use and critique of AI by showcasing some of the tools and applications our community will be building. Come try out emerging AI technologies, learn about the vision for our next class, and find ways to plug in as a student or volunteer. Last year’s courses were a huge success, and this year we’re raising the bar by putting AI into our community’s hands. Whether you’re curious, critical, or ready to create—this event is the perfect way to join the conversation.
