Hosted in collaboration with the Bravo Family Foundation and Evolving Space Corp., this hackathon brings together students, innovators, and community leaders to solve real-world challenges through creativity, technology, and teamwork. What makes OESTECH Hackfest unique is its focus on impact-driven entrepreneurship. Over the course of the event, participants will not only develop prototypes and business ideas but also learn how to transform those ideas into viable ventures with the power to shape Puerto Rico’s future.
