Second CUNY AI Innovation Challenge Fall 2026

Join a two-day hands-on innovation challenge where current CUNY undergraduate students from every major team up to solve real-world problems for CUNY and New York City using AI. Use this opportunity to express your creativity, develop your leadership skills, network and collaborate with your team, get support from mentors, and present to judges for prizes.

This event is free for all CUNY students. You will form teams of 3-4 members to compete. This is more than a competition - this is your chance to gain practical experience. Collaborate with peers across CUNY and walk away with skills and connections that last well beyond the event. Join us to make a difference!
