The Hesburgh Libraries Hackathon challenges teams of developers, graphic designers, subject specialists, and other creatives to reimagine solutions to everyday problems.
We provide food, resources, and technical assistance. You collaborate, create, and innovate to bring new solutions that help with this year’s theme: Bridging conversations. Building connections. Teams will develop ideas that leverage technology to encourage more conversations, particularly among individuals or groups with diverse perspectives.
The Hackathon competition is open to all Notre Dame undergraduate students.
(In order to protect the health and wellness of our community, this event has been canceled. We will share more information on rescheduling, as appropriate, at a later date.)
