Kickoff competition · Yale AI × SpaceXAI
Rapid-fire Cursor.
How quickly can you build an app for Yale students?
It started at the kickoff on Wednesday, September 9 and closes Thursday, September 10, 11:59 PM. Build something useful in Cursor, on the month of Cursor Pro SpaceXAI gave the room, and send us the GitHub link. Three winners each get three months of Cursor from SpaceXAI.
The brief
A useful app for Yale students
Built in Cursor. Classes, clubs, dining, schedules, recruiting, research: anything you actually wish existed. Useful beats flashy.
Proof
A screenshot in the README
Your project README must include a screenshot of you building it in Cursor. Solo or a team of up to three.
Submit
The GitHub link, by the deadline
One form: your name, your Yale email, the public GitHub link, and one sentence on what it does. Due Thursday, September 10, 11:59 PM.
Prizes
Three winners, three months of Cursor each
Courtesy of SpaceXAI. Judged on usefulness, craft, and speed. Winners hear from us by email within a few days.

Build
Open Cursor, pick the one thing you wish existed at Yale, and ship a first version. Small and working beats big and half done.
