Aurite AI Summer Cohort Empowers USC Students to Build Real-World AI Agents
This summer, Aurite AI hosted an exciting cohort program where talented college students from the University of Southern California (USC) gained hands-on experience developing AI agents using our open-source agent framework.
Throughout the program, student teams applied cutting-edge AI tools to design and implement real-world solutions, tackling complex problems with creativity and technical skill. The culmination of the program featured presentations of their AI agents to a panel of industry executives, showcasing the innovative work and practical applications of their projects.
We are thrilled to celebrate the achievements of our student participants. Their contributions demonstrate not only technical proficiency but also collaboration, critical thinking, and a forward-thinking approach to AI development. Awards were presented to the following student groups:
