What is a hackathon?

According to Black

Founders, HBCUHacks is

a weekend hackathon that

gives students at HBCUs

the opportunity to flex their

coding skills while working

together to build mobile

apps and web software.

During these hackathons,

students can also connect

with tech companies hiring

for open positions.

HBCUHacks is open to all

majors and we encourage

all students to get

involved. No previous

programming experience

is required to attend.

Black Founders have led

hackathons at the

following schools:

• Atlanta University

Center Consortium

(Clark-Atlanta

University, Spelman

College, Morehouse

College)

• Howard University

• Morgan State

University

• Grambling State

University
