About the challenge

Join us this holiday season for an exciting virtual "At-Home Hackathon," hosted by Ringling College of Art and Design in collaboration with 3lbXR. From Christmas to New Year's, participants have the opportunity to use GroKit Core, 3bXR’s cutting-edge Unity development platform, to create innovative virtual and mixed reality applications in record time.

This event is open to all, with a special focus on students looking to sharpen their skills during the semester break. Mentorship from 3lbXR's expert developers and guidance from a panel of judges actively working in XR will ensure an enriching experience. Cash prizes are up for grabs, making this the perfect way to jumpstart your New Year's goals while pushing the boundaries of creativity and technology.
