IoT Hackathon

The Community + Innovation + Technology Hackathon is your opportunity to solve real-world problems facing our neighborhoods in Northeast Ohio. Register today to collaborate with other students, form ideas, create prototypes, evaluate designs and pitch your solutions to improve our world. 

Open to all current CSU students. Teams will form around one of three problems presented on Thursday, April 18th. This year students will be asked to solve problems around AI in education, digitial addiction and local food systems using technology and present those solutions to a panel of judges on Saturday, April 20th for a chance to win cash prizes. 

Open to students from all disciplines - you don't need to understand coding or be a tech guru to have a great idea and help build solutions to some of our communities biggest problems.
