Show Quotes:
"Hackathon does not pertain to hacking in the digital sense, it speaks more to life hacking because it creates an environment of rapid ideation and creativity."
"If the leaders are not looking into industry, they are not seeing how tech is growing. There's a gap there, and students are left to fill that gap."
"The C-Suite execs are always kinda looking towards the future and they are being visionaries. But if we can somehow do that at a student level, wouldn't that be cool."
