Cursor Hackathon Jimma is coming, and it's open to everyone in South West Ethiopia! We're bringing a 24-hour hackathon to Jimma where you get to build real products with Cursor. Got an idea? Bring it. Don't have one yet? That's fine too. You'll get the chance to experiment with AI, work on real problems, and see what you can build in just 24 hours. You don't need to come with a team. We'll randomly group participants into teams, so you'll get to build with people you might never have met otherwise. Whether you're a student, developer, or just curious about building with AI, come be part of it. Let's bring together the builders in South West Ethiopia and see what we can create! 📅 Nov 21, 8:00 AM to Nov 22, 11:00 AM 📍 Jimma University, Jimma Jimma, it's your turn. Let's build! 🔥 Register here👇 https://luma.com/spacexai-yijh

University students, listen up. This isn't a motivational speech, believe me for real Just sit down and talk to 3 or 4 university graduates ...Ask them about their lives after graduation Then you'll understand what I'm talking about because Sometimes, you don't realize the value of a season of your life until you're no longer in it.

You probably won't have this much freedom again.

 Right now, you have assignments, exams, deadlines, and all the usual university stress. But alongside all that, you still have something valuable: the freedom to explore without having your entire life figured out. Want to learn to code? Build something 😳 Curious about AI? Experiment with it. Have a business idea? Try it. Want to create content, freelance, or learn a completely random skill? Go for it.

Don't let your uni life become nothing more than attending lectures, passing exams, collecting grades, and waiting for graduation.

Build projects. Meet people who challenge you. Try things you're terrible at. Start something that might fail. Learn things that have absolutely nothing to do with your degree. You don't need to have everything figured out. You just need to start exploring. Because one day, you'll graduate. You'll have responsibilities, deadlines, bills, and a job that demands most of your time and energy and finding time to experiment with random interests might not be as easy as it is now.

So please, don't spend your entire university life preparing for a future while forgetting to build something for it.

Your degree may matters. But there's so much more you can do with these years. Use this time to discover who you are, what you can build, and what you're capable of becoming. Don't just survive university. Make something out of it. 💪 @CTBEsoftwareengineers

ScholarXiv Companion — our project for the Stark Hackathon! We’re building an AI-powered research companion that uses the ScholarXiv API to help researchers turn rough ideas into clearer directions, challenge their thinking, discover relevant research, and find potential funding opportunities. We’ve been building, experimenting, and iterating, and we’re excited to finally share it with you. 🤍 If you like what we’re building, give the project a 🤍 on Stark since the view and like values 10%!

To Jimma University students (CS, IS, IT):

As you know, you're currently doing your internship and have at least one month before returning to campus. I advise you to start working on your report now, because once you're back, you'll have limited time to prepare it. So, please use the guidelines and sample I've posted here. @SelfTaughtDev1 #Internship #Computing
