Summer Pop-ups in the park

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.

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.

On Oct 20, join us at The Interval at the Long Now Foundation for an evening of imagination, culture, and big ideas. Together with the Stanford d.school, Community Futures School, and StreetCode Academy, we’ll explore the power of long-term thinking—asking what the next 10,000 years could look like. Enjoy delicious drinks, light bites, and vibrant conversation in one of San Francisco’s most inspiring spaces. This isn’t just about the future—it’s about cultivating responsibility and vision that can serve generations to come. Space is limited, so RSVP today and be part of a living archive of futurist imagination.
