HackGT’s 5th annual installment of our marquee 1000 person, 36-hour collegiate hackathon! In 2017, we helped participants reach New Heights, but this year we wanted to try something different. Specifically, Dare to Venture with our participants into the unknown. Inspired by the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest, we organized a myriad of workshops, fireside chats, and mini-events in an effort to empower participants to learn something new and have fun in the process.

For our second iteration of Catalyst, we hosted a day of STEAM exposure for more than 150 high school students from the Atlanta area.

HackGT’s second hardware hackathon! We partnered with the Invention Studio to host BuildGT, a twelve hour hackathon with beginner-friendly workshops, crash courses on Invention Studio tools, and tons of hardware.

The motivation behind this hackathon was to merge the worlds of healthcare and computer science to allow for participants to create meaningful, real-world solutions in the healthcare industry.

HackGT’s 4th annual signature 36-hour hackathon! In 2016, we received tons of great feedback about our event, and this year, we wanted to take it to New Heights. Motivated by the desire to better the experience of our participants and sponsors, we focused on cultivating a fun, resource enriched environment. From ceramics painting to AI workshops, this event spanned the gamut of an amazing hackathon experience.

After listening to participant feedback, HackGT decided to complement our main HackGT event with a series of beginner workshops to introduce critical skills for application development. At the event, we offered a 5 hour hands-on, mentor-guided workshops for students with introductory coding experience.
