About Us
AIMsoc is ANU’s new home for all things AI and machine learning.
We’re a student-run community for anyone who’s curious about how AI works, how it’s changing the world, and how to build with it - no experience required.
Our goal is to make AI accessible, hands-on and community-driven. We run beginner-friendly workshops, project nights and panel events that connect students with researchers, startups and industry.
Whether you’re from CS, science, business, law or the arts, if you’re excited about the future of AI, you’ll find a place here.

Upcoming Events
Do I need any coding or maths background?
No. Many of our events are beginner-friendly and designed for students from all degrees. If you can bring curiosity, we’ll help with the rest.
Do I have to be an ANU student to join?
Primary membership is for ANU students, but some events may be open to the wider Canberra community. Join the mailing list to stay updated.
How much does membership cost?
We’re currently free. Some special events may have small fees to cover food or prizes, but we’ll always keep things student-friendly.
I’m busy - how much commitment is expected?
Zero pressure. Come to the events that interest you; we’ll have options ranging from one-off talks to ongoing project groups.
Can I help organise or volunteer?
Yes! We’re especially keen to grow our founding team. Check out the “Join us” section or talk to us at an event.
