I always felt like comic book superheroes showed young people that it’s perfectly fine to be smart. Some of the most popular superheroes are scientists and inventors: Batman, Iron Man, The Hulk, The Flash. But, you don’t need to sit in a theater for three hours to see superheroes save the world, they’re all around us. For example, a group of students from North Carolina A&T State University might have you thinking they’re trying to recreate Wakanda.

NC A&T students have placed first in at least one category at hackathonCLT since 2016. The annual social tech competition brings “hackers” together to tackle a selected issue in Charlotte. This year’s challenge was population health during the event held March 22-23.
