🚀🚀🚀Empower the Dream Hackathon was A Huge Success.
On MLK Day we hosted our first meetup of the year with community partners and it was truly inspiring !
I am so grateful for everyone who came out to join us in Empower the Dream Hackathon! Together, we tackled real challenges in our community using the power of AI! 70% had clickable demos in just 2 hours!!
👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾But this event was about more than just innovation. It was also about building connections, fostering fellowship, and normalizing the practice of coming together to solve the issues that matter most to us. That spirit of collaboration and community is the heart of our hackathon and the work that we do.
Last night was especially meaningful for me as I stood in a space that, just seven years ago, I was longing to find—a community built on connection, purpose, and action.
Thank you to everyone who participated, contributed, and made this event possible. Your presence and passion made all the difference. Here’s to continuing to dream, create, and empower together!
Shout out to the winning Teams “Tech Me” and “Bus Rider”!!!
Thank you to .c.stars_milwaukee Blanca Gonzales Arlando Monk For helping us to pull off a fantastic event!
