Norfolk State Students Become Semifinalists in the AT&T HBCU Innovation Challenge
By Jordan Graham Four students are representing Norfolk State in this year’s semifinals round of the AT&T HBCU Innovation Challenge. Their challenge: to develop and pitch a product or service that helps to solve a real-world problem. The teams were told that they had free reign over their initiatives. However, it was in the team’s interest to intertwine some of AT&T’s initiatives into their own. The AT&T initiatives include the following: climate resilience, reducing emissions, connected learning, digital safety and wellbeing, and bridging the divide between people and technology. If successful, the first-place team will receive a reward of $75,000.
