Calling all Georgia high school students!
You are invited to Kennesaw State University for an exciting hackathon where you will compete in teams to solve real-world problems in the world of financial technology. Your challenge is to come up with creative, AI-focused ideas that could help strengthen the economy of countries like Zambia, places that are growing fast but still face obstacles such as limited technology, not enough trained workers, and payment systems that don’t always work well together.
Coding knowledge is not required! Whether you're into coding, design, or business strategy, this is your chance to innovate, collaborate, and make a real impact on an emerging market, all while competing for prizes!
What You Can Win
A panel of expert judges of academics and working fintech professionals will evaluate each pitch, awarding the following prizes:
1st Place: $3,000 worth of prizes
2nd Place: $2,000 worth of prizes
3rd Place: $1,000 worth of prizes
