​Welcome to a PAI Palooza Hackathon built for enterprise visionaries.

​https://aka.ms/LowCodeOpenHackRedmond

​Registration required

​You don’t need to be technical — you just need a real business problem, a willingness to experiment, and a keyboard.

​"Bring the energy. Build the system. No code, all vibes"

​Over two days, you’ll work inside AI-enabled IDEs like Cody AI, Windsurf, Cursor, and Visual Studio Code, using Microsoft Power Platform tools (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI) with pro-code extensions — all while applying the Semantic Seed Venture Studio Coding Standards (SSCS) to go from problem → prototype in one sprint.

​🏢 Use Case: Contoso Manufacturing

​Contoso is a fictional healthcare device company with complex ops and strict safety compliance. Your job? Build modern internal tools for this kind of enterprise — and do it in a single hackday.

​You’ll solve real problems that look just like what your org faces:

​🎯 Build Challenges

​1. 🚨 Mobile Incident Reporting App

​A Power Apps-based mobile form for employees to log safety incidents on the go.
Think: Field-ready UX, barcode/image capture, writes to Dataverse.

​2. 🔁 Automated Notifications

​Trigger real-time alerts to Ops teams based on issue severity using Power Automate.
Think: Teams/Email/SMS, flow logic, PagerDuty integrations.

​3. 📊 Executive Dashboard

​Create a Power BI dashboard to track incident trends, response time, and volume.
Think: DirectQuery, real-time charts, embedded in Teams or internal sites.

​4. 💻 AI x Pro-Code Fusion (Bonus Challenge)

​Go further using Windsurf + GitHub CI/CD + Power Platform CLI + custom PCF components.
Think: AI-generated flows, Git-connected apps, or advanced components — all built in real-time.

​🧠 Why Executives Should Join
