REGISTER

Hornet Hacks aims to provide a platform for students to demonstrate their skills, creativity, and vision, while also promoting a culture of learning, exploration, and knowledge-sharing among peers.

This competitive event is designed to bring together students with a passion for hacking and making an impact. Participants can choose one of the four tracks to build in and generate a solution to a real-world problem in the industry. Teams are encouraged to explore creative approaches and cutting-edge tools to bring their ideas to life, but how they innovate is completely up to them. 

Day 1: October 17th - 9 am to 10 pm
​During Day 1 of the hackathon, you will be oriented to the competition and the guidelines for building and competing. If you do not have a team there will be time and space for team formation.
​The Carlsen Center will be open to be used as workspace as well as scheduled meals with guest speakers from the industry.

Day 2: October 18th - 9 am to 10 pm
​The second day of the hackathon will be a full day of hacking at the Carlsen Center. We will have mentors and subject matter experts attending in-person and virtually to provide content and establish connections with you.
 
Day 3: October 19th - 9 am to 2 pm

​The third day and final day of the hackathon will be final touches on solutions and pitching for prizes. We will have $3,000 in cash prizes amongst in-kind awards.
