We had over 100 hackers last year from all backgrounds โ youโre sure to meet like-minded students and form lifelong friendships.
With exciting challenges to inspire you, the possibilities are endless.
Last year, we gave away more than $10,000 in prizes โ and we have lots to give away this year!
A hackathon is a sprint-like event where innovators and inventors, usually students, can come together to solve real-world challenges using technology.
Anything! We encourage any and all forms of solutions: whether itโs a game, app, hardware, AR, or anything at all.
No worries, please e-mail us at [email protected] and we will be more than happy to answer your question!
