DIV Hackathon is the only youth and diversity-focused annual hackathon that is 100% organized and operated by students of color, in the United States.hackathon is held on the campus of Huston-Tillotson University. Located in East Austin, Huston-Tillotson University is Austin’s oldest university and only HBCU (Historically Black College and University).

The focus of this two-day hackathon is to educate, engage, and empower millennials of color. DIV Hackathon wants millennials of color to recognize that they can be more than consumers of technology; they too can be creators, innovators, and disruptors of tomorrow’s technology and digital space.
