A hackathon is a 24 hour period of time for students to develop unique computer science projects from scratch. Groups of up to a max of three students work together to bring their ideas to life with the help of professional mentors.
Unlike other hackathons, Digitize is determined to promote social good through technology and computer science. We intend to accomplish this goal by having specific prize categories for projects relating to our three themes. In doing so we hope to inspire more students to pursue an interest in computer science and while promoting social change.
No, you will have the chance to meet new people who you can choose to work with during the hackathon. Additionally, you can brainstorm ideas for projects once you arrive, and find a team with up to two other people.
We are always looking for speakers, mentors, workshop leaders, and sponsors. If you would like to help us out please go to check out the “Help us" section at the bottom of the page or click here
