A hackathon is an opportunity when you and your team come together to construct a cool and inventive project in 24 hours!
We require all teams to be comprised of 2-6 people. This is a great way for you to work with others, and learn about the design process.
No problem! We will help connect you with other students who are also looking for teammates before and during the event.
While this event is targeted toward CS/Coen majors, all Undergrad and Graduate students are welcome.
No worries! We have a team of mentors to help you along the way. Previous project experience will be helpful.
Feel free to email us at acm@scu.edu if you have any questions or concerns!
