Hatch-a-Thon Grows, Next One Announced

The second Hatch-a-Thon recently brought together more than 200 attendees for its Demo Night, the culminating event of the AI innovation competition. Fifty builders presented solutions they developed over a 2-week period to address real challenges submitted by local businesses and nonprofits. Twenty-six high school students competed in the dedicated student track, with Baldwin Preparatory Academy students claiming three internship offers. Twenty-six business challenges from local organizations—including nine nonprofits—provided the foundation for the competition. Hatch-a-Thon 2027 is scheduled for January.
