Our Story
BisonBytes started in 2024 as Howard University’s first coding hackathon. It was created to address a major issue: Howard students were not being invited to many major hackathons at other universities. Instead of waiting for an invitation, we built our own competition, bringing students from across the country to compete on our campus.
Why It Matters
In today’s tech-driven world, hands-on experience is essential. BisonBytes provides students with the opportunity to sharpen their technical skills, solve real-world problems, and push themselves in a competitive yet supportive environment.
Industry Connections
Beyond just coding, BisonBytes helps students gain critical industry experience. Participants get the chance to work alongside leading companies, refine their problem-solving abilities, and learn how to pitch their own ideas, an essential skill in today’s technology landscape.
