MEGA is a dynamic and diverse coalition of high school and college students from around the world, attending institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania, UC Berkeley, University of Chicago, Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, The University of Glasgow, Rutgers Preparatory School, Milton Academy, The Hun School of Princeton, The Lawrenceville School, and many more. With a shared commitment to fostering sustainable development and promoting global welfare, MEGA is proud to announce its upcoming hackathon, MEGA Hackathon 2025, which is slated to take place online on Saturday, March 15, 2025, and Sunday, March 16, 2025.
The hackathons within the past four years have been significantly successful, with participants submitting innovative projects that tackled some of the world's most pressing issues, including education, climate change, poverty, and inequality. You can check out the projects from all of our hackathons at https://devpost.com/hackathons?organization=MegaHackathonLeague and our website at https://site.megahack.org/.
The objective of this hackathon will be to apply computer science or artificial intelligence to improve infrastructure and/or propel economic growth. This can be completed in the form of a business plan, game, application, or website.
The MEGA Hackathon is a unique opportunity for computer science students to showcase their skills and creativity, while also contributing to the United Nations' seventeen sustainable development goals. By infusing computer science competitions with these goals, MEGA aims to raise awareness about pressing global issues and instill passion in the next generation of computer scientists.
MEGA's annual hackathon is an event that allows participants to collaborate and compete. This year, MEGA's hackathon will cater to a diverse range of interests and skill sets, with a variety of categories that include web development, data science, machine learning, and more.
The hackathon is open to students from all backgrounds, and there are no prerequisites for participation other than an interest in computer science and a desire to make a positive impact on the world. Participants will have the opportunity to work with mentors and industry professionals, as well as to network with other like-minded individuals from around the world.
Holistically, MEGA's annual hackathon is an exciting and impactful event that showcases the power of computer science to drive positive change in the world. We encourage all computer science students to join us for this year's event and help us make a difference!
