Hack-a-thon (noun)

The J.B. Hunt Hackathon is a competition co-hosted by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) at the University of Arkansas. It’s an overnight software engineering competition that takes place every semester.

All students are welcome to take part regardless of school, education level, or major. All majors and backgrounds are welcome! Students have a chance to use their skills to create a collaborative project within 24 hours.

Teams compete to develop a working prototype to present in front of a panel of judges. Judges from different technical backgrounds are sourced from different companies across NWA.

There are over $3000 worth of prizes including 3D printers, monitors, mechanical keyboards, and an air fryer.

Join the next Hackathon and push your limits!
