What's a Hackathon?

Hackathons are a 24-hour event where teams of up to four have a friendly competition to create the best projects, products, and more. Food, prizes, mentorship, and events are all available.

 

When and Where are MadHacks?

MadHacks will take place this fall on November 11th-12th, 2023 in the Educational Sciences Building here on campus!

 

Why should I join a Hackathon?

Hackathons give you the environment to make amazing, fulfilling projects in a short amount of time surrounded by driven individuals. Hackathons are also a great way to make projects to put on your resume (the free food and swag doesn't hurt, either)

 

Do I know enough to join a Hackathon?

YES. Hackathons are made to be beginner friendly. Mentorship, talks, and workshops are available, which all allow you to grow your abilities quickly. We'll be better equipped to support beginners this semester than our last event in spring :)
