Team Projects
Team: Ask Eddie 🥇
The Ask Eddie team developed an AI-powered student assistant for Lemoore College that provides 24/7 answers to common questions about admissions, financial aid, academic calendars, course dates, and campus services. Grounded in official college information, the system can also escalate complex or sensitive questions to staff when human support is needed.
Team: Student-Centered Scheduler 🥈
De Anza College departments often build schedules independently, making it difficult to catch conflicts between courses students need in the same quarter. The Student-Centered Scheduler brings schedule and pathway data together, automatically surfaces cross-department overlaps, and helps staff better align course offerings with student program maps.
Team: Golden West Transcript Evaluator 🥉
The Golden West Transcript Assistant team developed an AI-powered platform that helps evaluators compare transfer coursework against Golden West College degree requirements. By extracting transcript data, comparing full course descriptions, and generating evidence-backed recommendations, the system reduces manual lookup work while keeping evaluators in control of every final decision.
Team: Soniq
The Soniq team developed an AI-powered review system for California Virtual Campus that automatically checks online course exports against 22 standard rubrics. Using AWS Lambda and Amazon Bedrock, the platform flags issues such as missing captions, heading structure, and outcome alignment—helping certified reviewers spend less time on repetitive compliance checks and more time supporting faculty.
Team: Plan-Pal
The Plan-Pal team built an AI-powered chatbot to help Antelope Valley College students plan engineering course and transfer pathways using real catalog data, transfer requirements, and live class availability. The system checks prerequisites and course offerings to help students avoid scheduling mistakes that can delay progress while reducing repetitive questions for counselors.
Team: MailFlow
Foothill-De Anza Accounts Payable staff handle more than 100 emails a day, manually sorting invoices, contracts, trip vouchers, and other requests. MailFlow automates that process with AI, classifying incoming messages and forwarding them to the right staff desk while flagging uncertain cases for follow-up.
Team: ConTrakt
Managing hundreds of vendor agreements means constantly tracking insurance certificates, contract expirations, and missing documentation. ConTrackt automates that work by extracting critical information from contracts and insurance documents, monitoring compliance, and proactively alerting staff before coverage or agreements expire.
Team: Polysees
The Polysees team developed an AI-powered policy Q&A chatbot for Foothill-De Anza Community College District. Using Amazon Bedrock and retrieval-augmented generation, the system helps staff search hundreds of board policies and administrative procedures with natural language, quickly find relevant requirements, and identify the source documents behind each answer.
Team: Lambda Legion
The Lambda Legion team developed a cloud-based system to simplify how Foothill-De Anza collects and reports instructional materials costs. Faculty enter data once, and the platform standardizes XB12 classifications, supports low-cost and OER discovery, and prepares information for downstream uses like course catalogs, bookstore workflows, and state reporting.
Team: GavBot
GavBot turns scattered library information into an accessible, always-available support experience. The chatbot uses natural-language understanding and indexed library resources to quickly answer common student questions, helping distance learners and students with non-traditional schedules get assistance without waiting for business hours.
Team: Golden Match
Thousands of Golden West College students qualify for programs like EOPS, CARE, CalWORKs, and Golden Promise, yet many never apply. Golden Match uses a rules-based eligibility engine and automated outreach to proactively connect students with available support while giving staff a dashboard to monitor responses and follow up.
Team: Hartnell Phishing
The Hartnell Phishing team developed a serverless pipeline that turns reported phishing emails into actionable security insights and audience-specific communications. The system classifies threats, identifies monthly trends, generates tailored alerts and summaries, and visualizes results in a dashboard—helping Hartnell College IT staff reduce manual reporting work and focus more on active security threats.
Team: PersonifyIT
The PersonifyIT team developed a bilingual, video-based IT support assistant for Hartnell College that gives students, faculty, and staff help in English or Spanish at any time. Using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and an interactive talking-head avatar, the system provides grounded answers to common technical questions without requiring users to wait for live support.
Team: Pink Panther
Pink Panther transforms static faculty onboarding into an interactive AI-powered learning experience. The platform organizes Hartnell College’s existing training resources into guided modules with flashcards, quizzes, matching exercises, and a conversational assistant that provides cited answers when instructors get stuck, reducing support bottlenecks and helping new faculty become course-ready faster.
Team: Sam's Club
The Sam’s Club team created a 24/7 AI assistant that turns Golden West College’s website into a more accessible support experience. The chatbot retrieves current campus information, provides clickable sources, handles complex questions through multi-step search, and connects students with the right department when the conversation needs a human handoff.
Team: AssistInt
The AssistInt team developed a multimodal AI interview assistant that gives students realistic practice across behavioral, design, and technical interviews. Using job-specific questions, voice conversations, whiteboard analysis, and coding exercises, the platform delivers immediate structured feedback while helping career staff focus on advanced coaching.
