?? Celebrating Innovation at the “Global Challenges, Local Solutions” App-A-Thon! ?? This past Saturday, we launched the first Global Challenges, Local Solutions App-A-Thon, in Tampa Florida. Young adults ages 13 to 22 came together to tackle pressing issues in cybersecurity and climate change through innovative, community-focused solutions. ?? A huge congratulations to the TampaHacks team for their winning solution, Sentris! This app is designed to bridge the gap between students aspiring to enter the world of ethical hacking and businesses eager for their talents. The participants' work exemplifies how technology can create meaningful connections and address critical challenges. ?? We’re deeply grateful to everyone who made this event possible: ?? David Bourland for creating the ServiceNow Lab Instances that empowered students to bring their ideas to life. ?? Dila Dzhuraeva, Client Success Manager at ServiceNow, and Kevin Brooks, Chief of Staff at ServiceNow, for their unwavering support and encouragement. ?? Our team for planning the program and AMRoC FabLab for providing the perfect venue to foster innovation. ?? Vicki Gonzalez for creating the awards that celebrated participants’ hard work and creativity. A special thank you to our amazing judges: ?? Tracy Ingram from Intention Technology LLC. ?? Terri Willingham from AMRoC FabLab and Florida Community Driven Innovation ?? Ora Tanner from Black Unicorn Education, who not only judged but also provided videography support and brought Bentley Tanner to capture the day. HCPS Career and Technical Education, Tampa Bay Hacks, Women in Tech, and the AMRoC internship team all helped to spread the word and send in youth to participate in the event. This app-a-thon was a testament to the power of collaboration, community, and innovation to tackle global challenges with local solutions. Let’s continue to innovate, build, and inspire! ?? #GlobalChallengesLocalSolutions #Innovation #Cybersecurity #ClimateChange #ServiceNow #WomenInTech #TampaBayHacks #AMRoC #Scoutlier #TechForGood #Collaboration
