Posted By: HBCU CONNECT on August 03, 2026 Check out this video from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia! After an eventful week marking its 159th anniversary, highlighted by the inauguration of its 13th president, Dr. F. DuBois Bowman ’92, Morehouse College concluded the celebration by hosting its first inaugural President’s Hackathon. The three-day innovation experience drew interest from more than 120 students, with 45 participants representing 31 majors collaborating across disciplines in an immersive challenge centered on generative artificial intelligence and entrepreneurial design thinking. Working in teams, students developed AI-powered concepts and prototypes to address real-world challenges in education, healthcare, sustainability, accessibility, and economic opportunity, culminating in final-day pitches from 11 teams that highlighted student-led, interdisciplinary innovation. Organized in partnership with ACT House and supported by the Atlanta technology community, the President’s Hackathon was created to develop leaders equipped to leverage emerging technologies for equity and global impact. During the 36-hour event, students participated in intensive problem-solving, mentorship, and iterative design, culminating in final presentations that showcased technical innovation and social responsibility. Teams competed for up to $10,000 in cash prizes, as well as startup incubation and industry mentorship to further develop their projects.
