Health

Where will HackCWRU 2022 take place?
HackCWRU 2022 will be fully digital, to accomodate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic
Who can attend?
Anyone currently enrolled in an
undergraduate or graduate program can attend.
What if I don't have a lot of experience?
First and foremost, hackathons are a learning experience.
It wouldn't be fun if you knew exactly what to do!
If you need help, we have a team of mentors to get you started.
What if I don't have an idea or team?
No problem. There are plenty of other hackers with your same dilemma you can
join forces with. Also, we will have team building and idea brainstorming workshops.
You are not required to be part of a team.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Signups are free!
How will we receive swag and prizes if the Hackathon is digital?
