This year’s AGA Datathon—a nationwide competition challenging college students to apply their data science skills to solve real-world government accountability problems—drew talent from many of the nation’s top business colleges. The Costello College of Business at Â鶹ÊÓƵ was well represented by the team known as the Fiscal Patriots, who rose above the competition to capture first place.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is preparing students to transform setbacks into stepping stones with a “Fail-a-Thon," a hackathon event where failing forward is the goal. The event, hosted by the College of Engineering and Computing, encouraged students to explore bold ideas under two themes: artificial intelligence (AI) for everyday challenges and tech for well-being and creativity.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ students take third in competition to help veterans maintain their quality of life.

Keeping his nose to the grindstone is not just how Andrew Hutsell approaches his academic career in engineering—it's how he cut a small slice of fame.  The Â鶹ÊÓƵ alumnus recently put his engineering skills to the test on national television, competing in an episode of the History Channel’s Forged in Fire, a competition show that challenges bladesmiths to create weapons under tight deadlines.

Fatima Majid was not just the only one-person team in the top 10 award winners at a recent National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) cyber competition, she was the only student team. Yet she placed ninth out of 51 teams, most of them comprising working professionals.

When the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) convened the first round of its high-tech competition at Fuse at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Square, they should have known it would end with a strong George Â鶹ÊÓƵ showing.

The Country to Country (C2C) Capture the Flag (CTF) contest is an international competition that issues challenges to code, decrypt, search, hack, and reverse engineer their way through as many challenges as possible.

As the saying goes, if you love something, set it free. If it maps an area, finds a target, delivers a package, and comes back, the trophy is yours forever. Or something like that.

Bioinspired blimps performed swimmingly

Every year, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) allows its college chapters to participate in competitions that showcase the engineering knowledge and finesse of civil engineering students across the country. Two Â鶹ÊÓƵ ASCE teams—Team Surveying and Team Sustainable Solutions—participated and won in the annual competition.
