MIT students pay tribute to Captain America
'Avengers: Endgame' has captured the hearts of fans around the world. A few students who call themselves 'hackers' did something incredible which even got the Captain's approval.
Over the weekend, people noticed that the Great Dome at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was painted in the colours of Captain America’s shield to celebrate the 22nd film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Fans paid farewell to Steve Rogers aka Captain America after 8 years of staring in the sequel. Chris Evans who plays the character even commented on the 'hackers' great works.

According to The Indian Express, one of the hackers who spoke to the Boston Globe, said dozens of people worked on the project for months, which they started planning about a year ago after learning a new Marvel movie was going to be released.
“The hacker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the secretive nature of the pranks, said the current generation of MIT students grew up with the Avengers franchise, and that the shield was a symbol of their gratitude toward the series,” the report said.
