The 2026 BE Smart HBCU Hackathon features students from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to compete in what some call the new résumé. This group of top talent demonstrated how well they collaborate, how quickly they think, how they fail fast and learn faster, and articulate their ideas in public.
