Hack to Save the World!

This year, we called on hackers to be resourceful and creative, using their skills to build technology that addresses real-world challenges. We encouraged participants to focus on issues of all sizes, crafting solutions that could make a meaningful impact on their communities and beyond.

Our hackathon featured two types of categories—Main and Mini—with six main categories and five mini categories. Of these, three were proudly sponsored by companies, providing participants with the opportunity to tackle real-world challenges designed by industry leaders. We were also thrilled to have Major League Hacking (MLH) join us for this year’s event, bringing their expertise and excitement to the hackathon.
