Coders, more than most people, spend hours upon hours clacking away at their keyboards, so they’re prime candidates for an invention that helps improve your posture — and so TheBackPak won this year’s edition of HackNJIT, earning $1,500 for its student developers.

Angel Cazares, an S-STEM scholar and president of the Hispanic and Latin Association of Computing College Students (HACCS) at NJIT, has been awarded the distinguished 2024 eBay HSI Battle of the Brains Scholarship. This recognition celebrates Cazares' academic dedication and leadership in technology and innovation, marking a significant milestone in his journey and reinforcing NJIT’s growing reputation for developing young leaders and problem-solvers.

Members of NJIT’s undergraduate and graduate Women in Computing Society groups attending the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) 2024 in Philadelphia took full advantage of opportunities for professional development, networking and industry insights that support their growth in technology fields. 

An NJIT computational research team made impressive strides at the Princeton FlyWire Codex Data Challenge. Teams were tasked to solve a highly complex problem: analyzing the intricate network of neurons in the brain of a Drosophila melanogaster — commonly known as the fruit fly. Teams had to treat this neural network as a massive, interconnected graph and work to determine the best possible ordering of neurons. The goal was to maximize the efficiency of the brain's neural pathways, creating an optimal flow of information within this tiny but surprisingly complex system.

The NJIT Secure Computing Initiative (SCI), funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF), has selected seven high-caliber students to join the fall 2024 cohort of the elite CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service Program (SFS).
