April 30, 2025 - The CSU is ready to launch the next generation of artificial intelligence
(AI) innovators and will support that vision by partnering with Amazon Web Services

Students are encouraged to apply for the opportunity to spend a week at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo from July 27 - Aug. 1, where they will work on cross-collaborative teams to solve pressing challenges and discover opportunities in the California State University system.
