Most people leave AI courses with notes. MakerSquare students leave with deployed AI products — live tools they built, presented at Demo Day in front of Austins tech community. AI is moving fast. Most education hasnt kept up. Online courses teach theory. Workshops teach prompts. Nothing is built for the operator, founder, or domain expert who needs to actually build with AI. That gap is what MakerSquare exists to close. Were an intensive in-person AI builder program in Austin, TX. No coding required. We teach production prompting, RAG systems, AI agents, evals, and real deployment — turning AI curiosity into AI capability. Every student leaves with deployed AI products built around their industry. Not certificates. Real tools they can use, show, and ship. Who its for: operators, domain experts, career builders, and founders from healthcare, legal, real estate, finance, operations, and beyond. Classes meet in person, multiple days a week. Youll work alongside a committed cohort guided by instructors who build with AI professionally. Demo Day closes each cohort — students present live to Austin operators, investors, and hiring partners. Admissions are selective. Every applicant completes a take-home build project first.

We’re curious creatures, constantly seeking better ways to connect with people; constantly seeking better ways to add value to their lives and to give back. We think about how people devour music, information, and new ideas and then go out into the world and plant the seeds of change. We are fans. Pure and simple. We’re deeply enriched by the trans-formative effects of music and community. We belong to and live in the musical moment. We belong to a community who, through music, seek a deeper, richer, more inspired experience. We belong to Austin; to its freedom and vibe. We belong to those who doubt the conventional and create the exceptional. We belong to the idea that each of us should always be producing something that will propel this world forward in a positive way. We belong to each other, one family camping and laughing and loving and sharing in the joy of music. We belong here, in this place, which is far more than a music venue; far more than a festival, it’s a completely immersive experience, a place where you listen, create, feel and — literally — live in the moment. FIND YOUR EUPHORIA.
