How it works
Each HBCU drafts a team of social entrepreneurs made up of students and faculty from across schools or departments (STEAM included).
Step 1
After team formation, the team will select from one of the social challenges: improving health outcomes, education and community violence.
Step 2
Each team is required to complete and application and submit a maximum 2-min video of the solution that will be hacked during hackathon weekend.
Step 3
Five teams will be selected to attend the hackathon. Participants may only be on one team or submission.
Step 4
Each member of the selected teams will receive $200 for their participation during the hackathon weekend and pitch event.
