🗓️ Schedule
In the current state of our world, there has never been more of a need to create interdisciplinary communities to build tools for important social change. Despite the value of STEM in civic engagement, there has always been a large disconnect between the two disciplines. That is why our focus is on providing a welcoming, engaging, and creative environment to help bridge the gap between STEM and civic engagement by challenging participants to address major issues within the realm of civic engagement using tech.
We pride ourselves in helping both beginners and experienced hackers explore technology and develop their skills—with a conscience. Because of this, all kinds of hacks will be allowed (software, hardware, data-driven). If your team just has an idea, design, or prototype, your project will still be considered! Remember, these are just as important as the implementation.

We believe that anyone has the potential to innovate. This track will prompt beginner hackers to use their unlimited passions and ideas to hop in the realm of tech innovation. You will be assigned a mentor who has experience in hackathons to help guide you through this process! Mentors will also get a chance to participate with their group to win the top prizes as well as be gifted a $20 gift card for their help!
This past year has had multiple low points, affecting our beliefs in our system of government, politics, and agencies, but it is one that requires us to have a lot of reflection and work towards social change. This track will prompt hackers to create solutions to benefit our community on a local, state, or federal level.
