Mozilla Builders Demo Day 2024
Mozilla Builders Accelerator Program funds and supports projects contributing to an open-source AI ecosystem. It provides up to $100,000 in non-dilutive funding and a focused 12-week program.
The 2024 Demo Day Event was the culmination of the first cohort of accelerator projects, bringing together a community of makers looking to this work as a vision of the the future potential of open-source AI. The event was devised as a science fair, featuring the 14-2024 cohort projects and 6-internal Mozilla projects.
The project was completed in an incredibly rapid 8-week design sprint from kickoff to event day.

The Event
Event graphics were designed in the spirit of the new builders brand, a pastiche of digital culture, distortion effects, and algorithmic repetition.
