Hack for Humanity is an opportunity to identify and solve pressing social issues using your creativity and code. We host a series of workshops, bring experienced mentors, and create networking opportunities with industry professionals. Come enjoy the free food, free merch, and exciting events planned!
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.
All undergraduate and graduate students of all majors are welcome! No prior technical experience is required. We'll have mentors and resources to help you along the way.
No worries! Hackathons are a great way to develop your skills and see what you can accomplish.
Feel free to email us at acm@scu.edu if you have any questions or concerns!
