HackUConn 2018: Sports & Games
Solve problems in the sports & gaming industries (health, performance, tech, marketing & sales, etc.).
HackUConn is a 24-hour marathon event that brings together young innovators and industry experts for a non-stop fast-paced invention competition. Students form groups at the start of the event and combine their skills with resources we provide such as hacking supplies, 3D printers, a laser cutter, and tech mentors to prototype ideas of value.
The event is free and funded by our generous sponsors. Throughout the competition, mini-events such hacker workshops are organized. You don’t need an idea to join a hackathon!
