Winter Hackathon: Learn, Build, Win Prizes!

This term, we’re hosting a term-long hackathon, giving you the time to build a complete, polished project (without the stress of a weekend sprint). With classes, midterms, and other commitments, this format lets you learn new technologies at your own pace and create something you’re proud to show off.

You’ll spend the term developing a project that strengthens your resume, builds real experience, and prepares you for BeaverHacks, Oregon’s largest hackathon, in April (hosted with our Google Developer Group chapter).

How It Works

- Teams: Form your own team or join one led by an officer for additional guidance

- Team Size: Up to 4 people

- Build: Work whenever you want up until submissions are due—we will have time during out normal weekly meetings where you can get guidance from officers if you have any questions about tech stack, design, or anything else

- Showcase: Present your project in Week 10 to be eligible for prizes

Theme: Make Something Cool

Build anything you want: a website, mobile app, game, automation tool, or anything that solves an interesting problem.

Goal: Create a high-quality project that stands out on your resume and that you’re proud of. Improve your odds of winning by building something truly impactful or creative.
