 💻✨ We’re back! Cloudforce is excited to return as a sponsor for Bitcamp 2026 at the University of Maryland, once again partnering with Microsoft to support the next wave of builders and innovators.   After an incredible Bitcamp 2025, we’re looking forward to another weekend of bold ideas, creative problem-solving, and real-world innovation from students across the country.    📍 Meet our team at the upcoming Bitcamp Bonanza: Sponsorship Fair on April 3 and stay tuned for more details 👀 

We’re making progress, but there’s more to do. 🤍   🎡 With just over a week until Investing in Maryland's Future: An Evening of Impact on April 9th, we’ve raised $16,661 toward our mid-point $50,000 goal in support of the Southern Management Leadership Program and its mission to provide scholarships, mentorship, and leadership development for students in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties.   🚀 Every contribution helps open doors for high-potential students and brings us one step closer to expanding opportunity across our community.   Join us on April 9th at the Capital Wheel or support the mission by giving today.   🔗 Use the link in the comments to donate. Your support helps turn potential into opportunity.

🚀 Powering innovation at HackFax x PatriotHacks 2026   We’re proud to have sponsored this record-breaking event at George Mason University with Microsoft, supporting 500+ students from 30+ universities over an intense 72-hour hackathon.    Together, we hosted workshops, supported student teams, and powered the weekend with #PatriotAI, giving students hands-on tools to explore AI in real-world projects. 💡🤖    Thanks Fourth Estate for capturing the impact of the event. 📖 Read the full press release linked in the comments.

The best AI transformations don't start with technology. They start with people. 🤝   🦉 The Cloudforce Team had an incredible time supporting Florida Atlantic University's Teaching With Technology Showcase, an event that brought together faculty, staff, and academic leaders around one shared mission: exploring how AI is reshaping the future of higher education. From hands-on agent-building workshops to thought-provoking panel discussions, the energy in the room made one thing clear: FAU isn't just embracing AI, they're leading the way.   🤖The Cloudforce team led two standout sessions: a nebulaONE® use case showcase featuring real-world implementations built by FAU faculty alongside a demo of our accessibility agent, followed by an agent-building workshop where faculty got hands-on experience building their own AI agents. The conversations throughout the day reinforced something we deeply believe: AI adoption in higher education isn't just about technology. It's about equity, civic responsibility, and preparing students, faculty, and communities for what comes next.    🔗 Explore how nebulaONE is helping higher education institutions lead at the Frontier of safe and equitable AI. Link in the comments below.   A huge thank you to Wendy Wong, Jason Ball and FAU OIT, for including us in this showcase and for setting a powerful example of what Frontier leadership looks like in Higher Education. We're proud to work alongside you to make "AI for All" a reality.

🚀 We’re excited to be attending the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, April 12–15, where leaders in education and technology come together to explore innovation at scale. 🤖 One example of AI transforming higher education is our collaboration with UCLA Anderson School of Management. Using Cloudforce’s nebulaONE® platform, UCLA Anderson deployed a custom MBA generative AI chatbot in just 45 business days, helping students navigate complex datasets, streamline administrative tasks, and elevate the learning experience. 🤝 If you’ll be at the summit, come connect with our team to learn how secure, scalable AI can empower students, faculty, and institutions—just like UCLA Anderson is doing.    🔎 Read the full case study linked in the comments.

Giving back to our community is at the heart of who we are. 🤝   Last week, the Cloudforce team had the privilege of rolling up our sleeves at DC Central Kitchen for our ongoing Cloudforce for Good initiative to help prep meals distributed to individuals and families across Washington, DC. Investing time and energy into the communities where we live and work isn't just something we talk about, it's something we're committed to showing up for, consistently and intentionally.   During our time there, we worked alongside the DCCK team to support their daily mission of transforming surplus food into thousands of healthy meals all while learning more about the culinary job training programs that help people build careers and long-term stability. Since 1989, DC Central Kitchen has been doing the hard, meaningful work of fighting hunger and creating real opportunity for those who need it most. That kind of community investment deserves more than recognition, it deserves partnership. And that's exactly what we're here to build. 🍽️   We're proud to invest in DC Central Kitchen's mission and to pour back into the community we're committed to building a stronger future for. 🚀
