The passionate students behind Kentucky's premier hackathon

Annika Chadha

Message from the Founder

"Creating Hack the Track has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. When I started this journey, I saw a gap in Kentucky's educational landscape - there was no platform for high school students to showcase their coding skills and connect with industry professionals."

"Our vision was simple: empower Kentucky's next generation of tech leaders through hands-on innovation and real-world problem solving. Seeing 75 students registered come together for our inaugural event, building incredible projects that address real community challenges, has exceeded all our expectations."

"This is just the beginning. We're building something that will transform how students in Kentucky think about technology and their potential to make a difference. Thank you to everyone who believed in our vision and helped make Hack the Track 2025 possible."
