AI Hackathon
Fall 2024 AI Hackathon
This competitive event is designed to bring together students with a passion for AI, encouraging them to develop and innovate in two main categories: AI models and AI service-oriented applications. Participants have the flexibility to focus on one category or integrate both into their projects.
Held at the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship,* the competition is open to teams with a minimum of one member and a maximum of five, allowing for individual participation as well as collaborative team efforts. Each team will have the opportunity to showcase their projects to a panel of judges, who will evaluate them based on innovation, applicability, technical proficiency, and potential impact.
*Carlsen Center is in Library 1520: Go through main doors of the University Library, turn hard right and keep walking, up a short flight of stairs to our doors.
