Aulden runs on two communities, southwest Minnesota and Addis Ababa. The hackathon we co-host, the chapters we serve, and the student sites we build are how the firm pays its way in both.
first regional student hackathon in southwest Minnesota
A place for students in the region to build something real, co-hosted by Aulden's founders.
The first event brought students from three institutions into one room for a day of building, with Schwan's as platinum sponsor. We also designed, built, and run the event site, the same way we build for clients.

cybersecurity programming
Bityana serves as Program Chair for the ISC2 chapter, shaping cybersecurity programming for professionals across Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

engineering contribution
We have contributed engineering time to a UN/Camara education technology project, putting build hours behind classroom access.
Southwest Minnesota and Addis Ababa gave Aulden its two homes. The hackathon, the chapters, and the student sites are how we hold the door open behind us: the students who build with us this year are the engineers and operators the region keeps next year.
