A hackathon is an event where teams collaborate on a project, or "hack", given a certain time limit. At StormHacks, teams of 1-4 collaborate over 24 hours to brainstorm and innovate solutions to real-world problems. Or they are free to work on whatever fun/silly ideas they have in mind, the door is open. We will be inviting various mentors, judges, and guests working in the tech industry to share their expertise and knowledge to our participants. Winning teams will be selected based on various criteria that will be revealed closer to our event.
Make your first hackathon special at StormHacks 2024. In past events, 46% of participants have been new hackers— SH24 is one of the top places for you to join other beginners in tech and self-starters for life-long learning, challenges and more.
One of the most challenging things about a hackathon can be developing your final submission, especially for hackers who are aiming to build their design skills, sharing their ideas and stories through visuals and experiences. This can often lead to people feeling left out or discouraged from evenentering their first hackathon, especially if you're entering on your own.
For all you designers, we're hosting prizes and workshops to help support your no-code solutions and prototypes!
The hackathon will be packed with activities such as wellness workshops, games, trivia and more all throughout the event! You can even win some prizes through some of our mini contests.
