Generalized Robotics is building a 360º camera for the top of police vehicles and is led by current KSU student Jordan St. Louis. 

Generalized Robotics has received grant funding through the Mookerji Innovation Fund and comes to HatchBridge from the Robin and Doug Shore Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center in KSU's Coles College of Business.

 Design-a-Thon for Interaction Design Students

HatchBridge has partnered with the UX/UI Club to hosted the first Design-a-thon exclusively for Interaction Design students. The kick-off meeting involved three of our companies, helping them solve real design problems. The students were given a week to redesign landing pages for the companies.

This was a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their design skills, learn from professionals, and solve real-world problems in a competitive setting. The event was a fuel of creativity and helped students to grow!
