Live from the Hackathon: SFSU Students on AI

How are students actually using AI—in education, their lives, and as they prepare for future careers?

Join in as a panel of SFSU students engage in live conversation about how they use AI, where they see value and limitations, and how they believe this technology is changing their education and the workforce they are preparing to enter.

Broadcast live from the SF Hacks X GDG AI Hackathon, student panelists will gather to discuss AI in their coursework, the potential impact on careers and the opportunities and challenges posed by the emerging technology. Audience members via Zoom will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the student panel.

Hear directly from students and get a glimpse into the creativity, experimentation and energy happening throughout the hackathon. This panel gives SFSU community insight into the larger event, the AI Hackathon co-sponsored by SF Hacks, the SFSU chapter of Google Developer Groups (GDG) and the SFSU AI Student Commons. The hackathon runs all day on Friday, October 2, 2026; "Live from the Hackathon: SFSU Students on AI" will be held onsite at the hackathon from 12 — 1 p.m., with participants joining the conversation via Zoom (registration is required).

"Live from the Hackathon: SFSU Students on AI" is open to the SFSU campus community. All students, faculty and staff are welcome to join.
