Cal State CREATE is a CSU-wide creative event and competition in collaboration with Adobe and Apple. Similar to Adobe Creative Jams, CSU students of all majors have the opportunity to explore creative tools and design unique, personal projects eligible for prizes.

This year's theme, "Future Ready in the CSU", explores areas of emerging technologies, career readiness, and what it means to be prepared for our evolving world. How does healthcare use virtual reality to help with patient care? How does agriculture use predictive algorithms to help with harvests? How do creatives use generative AI to supplement their creations? To kick off Cal State CREATE events, a panel of professionals from various industries will share their experiences of how technology and digital literacy shape their work and help with their success.

All are welcome to join us Monday, April 8 at noon PDT for the Cal State CREATE kick-off panel, then students are invited to complete creative design challenges to build their digital skillset and enter a raffle for prizes. See design challenge specific below for more details!
