City University of Seattle is proud to sponsor AI Defense Lab 2026, a 48-hour online hackathon hosted by Seattle Data AI.

This exciting event challenges participants to Build. Attack. Defend. while tackling real-world cybersecurity and AI security problems. Whether you’re studying cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence, computer science, or simply interested in emerging technologies, this is an opportunity to apply your knowledge in a practical, team-oriented environment.

Use this opportunity to optimize your academic break by accelerating your learning, strengthening your professional portfolio, and gaining demonstrable accomplishments that can be highlighted in interviews, networking events, and future career opportunities. In addition to sharpening your technical abilities, you’ll collaborate with peers, solve real-world challenges, and showcase your work in a competitive setting.

This is a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience, expand your professional network, and demonstrate your capabilities through a real-world cybersecurity and AI challenge.
