Our Projects

From student-led innovations to hackathon winners and open-source contributions — explore the technical work our members are building.

Featured Projects

Our flagship projects with the greatest community impact.

AI / Mobile

CampusConnect

An ML-powered campus safety application that provides optimized walking routes based on real-time lighting, foot traffic, and emergency station data.

The Problem

Students walking across campus at night had no way to assess the safest route, especially through poorly lit areas.

The Solution

Developed a mobile app using TensorFlow Lite that analyzes campus data to recommend the safest walking routes in real-time, with one-tap emergency alerts.
