This is Cogswell's first Hackathon hosted by the Cogswell Engineering Society.

It is a 24-hour event running from Friday, March 29 11:00am -  Saturday, March 30 1:00pm.

The theme is Improvement. 

The main purpose of this hackathon is to have students at Cogswell come together to learn and use technologies they never have used before, come up with solutions for a variety of problems, whether it's fixing their personal projects, social problems, contributing to open source projects, or creating helpful tools.

Participants will be working in teams on projects of their choice, those doing challenges are encouraged to collaborate with other teams using their project.

For example, Gamification Challenge can use project from Open Data Challenge in raising awareness for wildfires, they can see the most common causes and ways to prevent it and add it as a mechanic to their game.
