HackKean Fall 2020

Cancelled

Kean University's Annual Hackathon

Join us for 12 hours online as we build apps, hardware, and more. We will provide a comfortable and enlivening atmosphere for you to build out progressive, innovative, and crazy ideas.

At HackKean, you’ll meet fellow hackers, learn new technologies, and hone your skills. We'll have free prizes, games, and more. Don’t have a team or an idea? Don’t worry! We’ll connect you with others and give you the tools to build something incredible.

Whether you're a seasoned hackathon-goer or just getting started, we’d love to see you here!

How do I sign up?
What kind of project can I work on?

Whatever you'd like. Software, hardware, design, music, art, animation — take your pick.
Teams?

Teams should be groups of up to 5 students. You can also work alone, but we encourage collaborating with the other great minds at HackKean.
Do I need to have a finished project by the end?

Your goal should be to have a finished or almost complete project by the end of the night. However, HackKean is ultimately a learning experience, so don't sweat it too much if you can't finish. We want you to experiment and learn!
I haven't been to a hackthon before...?

That’s absolutely fine! We encourage beginners to join us. Please feel free to email us if you've got any questions not answered here.
What should I bring?

Whatever you need to create. Hardware, computers, and whatever else.
What shouldn't I bring?

A bad attitude. Come with an open mind & get ready to build.
I'm not a college student. Can I participate?

We're open to high school students!
