AIBA — AI Business Automation Club at the University of Guelph
A student-led community where we ship automations, learn by doing, and connect builders with operators. I host weekly lectures on AI and automation, and we run hands-on events that bring together product, engineering, and business.
What we do
- Weekly lectures on AI and automation hosted by me
- Vibe Coding sessions — build in public, pair, and ship
- Industry partner collabs and tutorials
- Case comps, mini-hackathons, and rapid prototyping
- Peer mentorship and project pods
