AI is transforming every industry. But what happens when university students apply responsible, agentic AI to real-world business challenges?
Join us at the NCCU AI Hackathon, powered by IBM SkillsBuild, for a 24-hour, in-person student hackathon taking place March 19–20, 2026 at North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC.
By participating in this hackathon, you will have the opportunity to:
