Have you entered a HACKATHON before? First hackathon. Finals. 4th place. 🏆 Huge congrats to our TechRise student Xavier Hernandez, a Kennesaw State University student! About 450 people applied to HackATL 2026 at Emory. 30 teams got in, and only 6 made the finals. Xavier's team was one of them. The theme was "Designing the World After AI." Their question: if AI can do the assignment, how do we protect real understanding? Their answer was Xplain-it, a tool where students explain their code out loud so they can show what they actually learned. Xavier helped build it and opened the pitch as lead speaker. Then the tech broke mid-pitch. Instead of letting that be the story, he asked experienced competitors how they pivot, and he's taking it into the next one. That's the mindset we love to see. 🤎 This is exactly why you should be subscribed to the Opportunity Drop and join TechRise. Xavier found HackATL through us, and look what happened when he said yes. There is literally no experience like hands on. PERIOD. Companies and partners: our network is full of brilliant, ready-to-work students like Xavier. If you can offer an internship, mentorship, or a seat at the table, we want to connect you. DM us or reach out at wecreatetech.org. 🔗 Subscribe to the Opportunity Drop and apply to TechRise at the link in bio. #WeCreateTech #TechRise #OpportunityDrop #HackATL #KennesawState @hackatl @kennesawstateuniversity

Once upon a time, a guidance counselor told our Founder & CEO she “wasn’t college material.” Welp… that didn’t age well. 🤣🤣 Today, she’s the Woman of the Year (WIT Awards), featured in the AJC on National STEM Day, and leading We Create Tech — a movement closing the opportunity divide and opening real pathways into STEAM for underserved youth. 🤎✨ Want to join the mission? • Become a member • Become an advisor • Volunteer • Partner with us • Support a student 🔗 Links in bio. #wecreatetech

This is Code the Culture — where our students merged two worlds that usually stay separate: music and engineering. Every station was equipped with an everyday item — a banana, buttons, pencils, anything that conducts electricity. Or a piece of foil with one of the artists above looking back at them. Touch it, and it’s not just foil anymore — it’s a working circuit built on tech that came out of MIT. @makeymakey From there, our students used a tool we built to actually trigger drum patterns from that circuit. They weren’t just learning how a circuit receives power — they were using it to build their own song, bar by bar. 🎛️🎶 Just for one second — what if one of these students is the next Tyler, the Creator? The next engineer at MIT? The next founder building the next Lovable? That’s exactly why we do this. We help students reimagine what they could be — and put the tools in their hands to get there. 🎤 Code the Culture — presented by @wecreatetech, in partnership with Georgia Tech College of Engineering’s Department of Outreach Initiatives. @feliciathegoat @sza, @doechii, @brentfaiyaz, @mitmedialab, @gatechengineers @lovable.dev #CodeTheCulture #WeCreateTech #STEAM #GeorgiaTech #mit

Black women have always been major contributors to STEAM. This series is here to prove it, and we’re starting with the OGs. Meet Katherine Johnson. Before STEAM was even a word, she was doing NASA’s math by hand. John Glenn refused to fly until SHE checked the computer’s numbers. She was the computer before the computer. Representation in STEAM isn’t new. It’s overdue. Stay tuned. There are so many more names you should know. Follow @wecreatetech so you don’t miss the next one. #wecreatetech #womeninstem
