Algeria AI Hackathon

A prestigious hackathon initiated by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, proudly hosted and organized by the AST Club.

"The best thing about our club is when there's a robotics competition for the club or outside the school (like Polymaze), the club managers help students build their robots and solve technical problems. As a result, we've seen many 1st year students successfully creating robots and competing head-to-head with older students from other universities!"
