Bring AI-powered data science to your campus
Partner with Zerve to give your students hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI tools — through curriculum integration, hackathons, and guest lectures from our team.
Programs
Three ways to bring Zerve to your university
Curriculum Integration
Embed Zerve into your data science, analytics, or AI courses. We provide resources, sandbox access, and support so students can build real projects using production-grade AI tooling from day one.
Hackathons
We sponsor and run full-day hackathons with prizes ranging from $10K cash to pizza & beer. Zerve handles logistics, mentorship, and judging so your students get an industry-grade competitive experience.
Talks & Guest Lectures
Invite our founders and team members to speak to your students about AI, data science, and building tools that matter. We bring real-world perspective on careers, research, and the future of data work.
Hackathons
Zerve-sponsored hackathons that students remember
We don't just show up — we run the entire event. From prize coordination and judging criteria to on-site mentorship and catering, Zerve makes it easy for universities to host a high-quality hackathon without the operational overhead.
Prizes range from $10K cash awards for top teams down to pizza & beer for everyone who participates. Every hackathon is a full-day event designed to push students to solve real data problems using Zerve's AI-powered environment.
