AI Wonder World Hackathon Program Recap

AI Wonder World Hackathon – Where Innovation Meets Impact!

On Sunday, December 22, 2024, the Mitchell Park Library came alive with energy and creativity as guest presenters from Bellatrix Warrior led an exhilarating AI Hackathon for middle school students! 

The event kicked off with an inspiring discussion where students learned directly from tech industry mentors and high school leaders about AI—how it works, its limitations, and its incredible potential. Then came the challenge: teams of 2-3 students explored AI tools and developed innovative solutions to real-world problems! 🌎💡

Students tackled some of today’s most pressing issues, including:
✅ Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
✅ Fighting ocean pollution
✅ Minimizing wildfire damage in California
✅ Addressing the effects of climate change
✅ Understanding and preventing zoonotic diseases
✅ Simplifying travel, especially with pets
✅ Building better fusion reactors for cleaner energy
✅ Enhancing mental health support and suicide prevention

The ideas and presentations were nothing short of inspiring! 🚀

🎟️ Last year’s event reached full capacity, and we’re thrilled to bring the hackathon back on Sunday, March 23, 2025! If you're a middle school student ready to explore AI, collaborate with peers, and create technology-driven solutions for a better world, don’t miss out!
