Building emergent tech products and providing modern AI education
As technology advances in the 21st century, there is a growing gap in the exposure of techs like AI, quantum computing, web3, and XR amongst the younger generation. We saw a high barrier to entry for building in these field yet these fields are what is really exciting right now.
HexaHacks aims to provide a platform for builders to build the future through open source contributions, in house projects while providing a diverse community that supports education in emerging technologies through the AI initative, hackathon events, workshops, and a community full of passionate people.
