WHAT IS A HACKATHON?

WHY DESIGN?

WHAT DO I NEED?

  • a space for students to work in a team to create a project that addresses a worldwide issue
  • a chance for students to learn valuable skills in workshops + from tech experts
  • an opportunity to meet like-minded people and mentors!

04

DO I NEED A TEAM TO SIGN UP?

  • if you already have a team (maximum of four members), great! remember to tell your team members to sign up, too!
  • if you don't have a team, don't worry. we will find you a team at the hackathon :)
  • design is the backbone of computer science, and applying it is critically important for almost every industry. there are countless projects, apps, websites, and brandings, but the project's design is what truly sets them apart.
  • we haven't seen a hackathon dedicated to design, so we wanted to host our own!

WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE?
