Congratulations to Sophomores Jagan Venkatraman, Aditya Yadav, and Sidhanth Manivannan. They won 1st place at the Hackathon AI hosted by the Global Association of AI and sponsored by KSOM AI Solutions.

The Atlanta Youth AI Hackathon & Pitch Summit is a one-day event for students in grades 8-12 that challenges participants to design an AI-powered solution and pitch their idea to industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and potential investors. Students work on real-world innovation themes, develop their ideas, and present them in a competitive pitch environment.

The event is hosted by the Global Association of Artificial Intelligence (GAOA) and focuses on helping students build skills in artificial intelligence, problem-solving, innovation, entrepreneurship, and public speaking.

In addition to the competition, proceeds from the event support GAOA’s mission of expanding digital access, AI education, mentorship opportunities, and future-ready technology skills for underserved youth around the world.
