ABOUT THE HACKATHON

In just one weekend, you’ll team up to create an interactive prototype that solves a real-world issue, add teamwork skills to your résumé, create a new project for your portfolio, and perfect your presentation skills in front of industry judges.


Even if you don’t walk away with a trophy, past Hackathon projects have won global design competitions and even earned students prestigious internships.
