Students from around the world participate in a virtual version of HackPSU
The COVID-19 pandemic did not stop 644 students from around the world from participating in a virtual version of HackPSU. The 48-hour hackathon was held entirely online for 45 teams of students, some as close as University Park and others as far as West Bengal, India. One of the winning teams of a sponsor challenge competed in the Nittany AI Mini Challenge, facilitated by the Nittany AI Alliance—a service of Penn State Outreach—where they were charged with creating a solution using artificial intelligence for good in the areas of education, environment, health and/or humanitarianism.
