HackThePack is a 24 hour student run Hackathon open to all Northeastern students, both graduates and undergraduates, taking place April 7-8. We’ll be running workshops on a variety of topics, from computing in the life sciences to data visualization. We’ll also have food and swag! Applications are now open!
Use a new language or piece of hardware to learn something new.
Build a cool project or just something that's been on your list.
Present your project and show off what you've done!

Hackathons are a great way to interact with students, to get feedback on products and APIs, and to recruit young talent.
HackThePack is grounded in diversity, and in bringing different student groups together to promote unique and collaborative projects that use tech to solve science-related problems.
