The pioneering initiative brought together bright minds from 26 colleges, signalling a powerful convergence of academia, innovation, and industry relevance.
Designed to move beyond textbook learning, the competition challenged participants to dive into real-world applications of Artificial Intelligence, ethical dilemmas, and collaborative problem-solving.
