This competition concludes after teams have pitched their AI‑powered solutions to a panel of industry and faculty judges.

Who Can Participate

Participation is open to all undergraduate Kennesaw State University students who demonstrate a strong willingness to learn with a desire for collaborative, interdisciplinary work. Prior technical experience is not required.

To ensure a well‑rounded learning team, students will be intentionally reallocated, if necessary, to ensure collaboration from a variety of majors and academic backgrounds.
