Student Competition

Congratulations to the winners of CSUN AI Jam 2025! 

CSUN AI Jam 2025 was an exciting student competition where teams of up to two students applied Artificial Intelligence to address real-world challenges on our campus. This competition challenged students to identify a campus problem, explore possible AI-based solutions, and propose a plan to implement the solution.

Participation in AI Jam provided students with the opportunity to showcase their skills while proposing innovative solutions to enhance campus life. The competition aimed to promote creativity, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of the evolving impact of AI in our daily lives.
