Morgan State's Hackathon 2014

Last updated: Saturday 5/8/14 @ 3:38 am

On Friday afternoon (5/2/14) I traveled from DC up to Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD, to observe the first couple of hours of Morgan State's third hackathon which began at 4:30 pm. The organizers of this important learning experience were Omar S. Muhammad, Director of Morgan's Entrepreneurial Development & Assistance Center (EDAC), who is a Morgan alum ... and Sam Henry who is a professional Web app designer, the co-founder of a company called "Given.to" (http://given.to), and another Morgan alum. By the time I left, 17 students, including three from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), had assembled into four teams.
