A trio of computer science students from Missouri S&T have earned top honors in several hackathon-style events over the past six months — most recently at the Midwest Blockathon hosted earlier this month by the University of Kansas Blockchain Institute.
At the Midwest Blockathon, S&T’s Alvin Moy, a junior, Sayam Gupta, a sophomore from St. Louis, and Matthew Martin, a sophomore from Ste. Genevieve, Missouri — partnered with Max Chen, a student from Saint Louis University.
The team won first place in a capture-the-flag challenge sponsored by the Sui Foundation, in which participants solved programming problems using blockchain tools, and received the Best Use of ElevenLabs award for how their project incorporated artificial intelligence voice technology.
