WHAT IS A HACKATHON?
A Hackathon is an invention marathon where students come together to learn new skills and compete in a product design competition. Students have the opportunity to attend instructionary workshops throughout the event and then apply their newly acquired skills to their project. During the competition, students will have access to mentors from tech companies to help their group transform their idea into a product by the end of the competition. At the end of the event the students’ creations are presented and judged, and the winners will receive awesome prizes donated by Utah companies! And while this event will be about tech, that does not mean it won't be an absolute blast–enjoy music throughout the event, free food and treats, and super fun break time activities!
NO CODING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!
WHY IS THIS EVENT IS IMPORTANT?
Hackathons provide students with an opportunity to spend 12hours pursuing their passions, learning new things and meeting new people. Hackathons provide real-world experience in computer science and product design as they are frequently used in major tech companies to promote creativity and innovation (notable products created during hackathons include GroupMe and Facebook messenger). Workshops give students an opportunity to learn new skills that can be applied not only during the competition, but in their futures as well. Hackathons inspire students to learn more about Computer Science as they work to turn their ideas into reality.
We cant wait to see you!
