New TJ Student Earns International Recognition

Myra Miller
Congratulations to incoming Thomas Jefferson School student Zeynep Ceyhun '28!

Before even beginning her first year at TJ, Zeynep has already earned international recognition. Along with her project partner, Yağmur Şakar, she placed third out of more than 320 teams in the 2026 USAII Global AI Hackathon, an international competition judged by professionals from leading technology companies.
Their award-winning project, Cabinet Clear, is an AI-powered tool designed to help patients better understand hospital discharge instructions by translating complex medical information into a clear, easy-to-follow plan for medications and follow-up care.

We are incredibly proud to welcome such an accomplished student to the TJ community and look forward to seeing all that Zeynep will achieve in the years ahead.

Watch the USAII Global AI Hackathon 2026 Closing Ceremony and Global Awards Showcase to learn more about the winning projects.
