Clark Atlanta University this week welcomes its incoming freshman class in a way never done before-- with hacking. A six-hour technical marathon is open to as many as a thousand students. They will collaborate to code and come up with technical innovations that could change the world. The event is being labeled as the largest hackathon at a historically black college and university. We talked with two of the organizers, Jerica Richardson and Daniel Santos of the Atlanta-based group, Hackout Ninja.
