What are hackathons?

Did you know that Lyft and Tinder started as hackathon projects? Hackathons are where you learn to build inventions under the guidance of mentors from the technology industry and then demo to judges who are venture capitalists, entrepreneurs from the Forbes 30 under 30 List, and elite engineers from Fortune 500 companies.

01

Meet

This is a safe and fun space for you to build inventions with your friends! Come with your squad or meet a new friend to form a team. We will help you find teammates if you're interested.

02

Ideate

This is your time to think about what you can build to help your community. Bring your BIG IDEAS! Our mentors will be available to help you brainstorm how to bring your ideas to life.

03

Learn

We will have Workshops and Mentor Office Hours on-site so that you can learn how to build games, mobile apps, prototype using electronics, and use artificial intelligence to work with data. This is the perfect time to get help with your resume during our Mentor Office Hours!

04

Build

Ready to build? We've got your back! You'll have open lab time to work on your hackathon projects. Mentors will be going around to support you through any technical challenges.

05

Demo

The hackathon concludes with a demo! You'll have time to present your projects to a group of industry professionals from top technology companies.
