MegaHack at VCU
MegaHack is a 24-hour sprint of intense innovation and problem-solving for innovative developers and makers to meet challenges provided by our sponsors. Participants address challenges through teamwork, solution ideation, programming, rapid prototyping, developing flow processes, and more. Participants may work in teams of up to four members, and cross-disciplinary teams are highly encouraged. This will be the seventh Hackathon organized at the VCU College of Engineering. This year’s goal is 350 participants; all skill levels and all disciplines are welcome. The College of Engineering is hosting this hackathon to ignite students’ spirits in a competition without creative boundaries.
