On Saturday, November 14, Franklin County high school students shaped conversations around artificial intelligence. The teens gathered at Columbus Africentric for the eighth annual TECH CORPS Hackathon, a high-energy, one-day challenge that puts young voices at the center of the conversation about artificial intelligence (AI).
Students worked in teams to explore how AI is shaping their world, tackle thought-provoking questions, create original responses, and pitch their perspectives to judges. No coding or AI experience was required. AI is changing how we learn, work, and live.
TECH CORPS believes students shouldn’t just prepare for a future shaped by technology—they should have a voice in shaping it. The Hackathon gives students an opportunity to explore emerging technology while building skills and confidence that extend far beyond the classroom.
