The third annual hackathon was organized by the university’s chapter of the Google Developer Student Club. For more than 24 hours, teams worked together to create apps, web platforms and other software and hardware <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/f8hlzn/vk2png/3aw413"><span style='color:#333333'>projects</span></a>, listen to professional speakers, and present their work. “It is incredible to see just how far it has been able to grow over these past few years,” says CECS student Shams Fatma Ahson, who helped organize the event for the past two years. “We started with just a small team of six people who had not much in common besides a goal to create accessible opportunities for people from varying backgrounds and skill levels in the technology industry. It has been incredible to see how our small passion project has gone from just 100 hackers to 300-plus from different places around the world.”</span><br><br><span class=e2ma-style>Projects focused on environmental solutions, mobility concerns, consumer protection challenges and more. Over a dozen sponsors — which included companies like fetch.ai, Amazon and Carhartt — had representatives at the event.
