This opportunity is part of the King's Edge Summer Skills Programme
KAiZEN Collab! is a 1.5-day AI showcase and hackathon that brings together King’s students and staff to explore real opportunities and challenges related to AI in teaching, learning, and university operations. Supported by King’s Edge and King's Collab! initiative, our event aims to strengthen student-staff collaboration, highlight exciting uses of AI across the university, and generate practical, scalable ideas that can secure potential funding beyond the hackathon.
