Startup Hackathon Monterey Bay 2018

Startup Hackathon Comes to CSUMB

America’s way of life faces ever-increasing threats.  Wildfires, floods, hurricanes, drug addiction, fake news, election meddling--the challenges touch more and more lives each year. Effective response requires innovative, technology-based solutions.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create new approaches, new technologies, new inventions that address these challenges.   We need students and teams of students from across the campus; all fields, including students from computer science, environmental science, health and human services, cinematic arts and technology, and business are invited to participate in the 2018 Hackathon and Save Our Future! We need visionaries of all backgrounds; techies and non-techies; dreamers and doers; fixers and inventors.

The annual CSUMB Hackathon combines students from CSUMB, MPC, Cabrillo and Hartnell for a weekend of creative tech development. Teams work through the weekend to come up with innovative solutions to social and global issues of the day, and display their prototypes at the end of the weekend.
