The Money Room:Run a Fintech App and Pitch It to an Industry Expert

I walked in not knowing how to code and walked out having deployed a real app to the internet. Sending my parents the live link was the best part.

I never knew an IPL owner thinks more like a banker than a cricket fan. The boardroom session completely changed how I watch the game.

It changed how I see AI completely. It's not just for asking questions, it's a tool I can build entire products with. I have not stopped building since.

We actually built an F1 team budget and had to defend every number. Nothing in school has ever felt that real.

I built an AI tool with Claude and a proper frontend in a single afternoon. My friends genuinely did not believe I made it myself.

I used to think coding meant memorising syntax. Turns out the real skill is knowing what to build, and the AI handles the rest. That finally clicked for me here.

I came in thinking aviation meant flying. Left knowing about slot trading, terminal ops, cargo revenue. There are so many ways to run an airport.

Most fun I have ever had learning anything. I went from a blank screen to something I am actually proud to show off, and I finally get how building works.

I was the youngest in the room and I still shipped a working website by the end of the day. I could not wait to show it to everyone at home.
