List of hackathons about industry in 2016

Come invent something silly! Participate in the Stupid Shit No One Needs and Terrible Ideas Hackathon! This is exactly what you would expect: a one-day event where participants create projects that have no value whatsoever and solve problems that don't even exist. It's also a great way to stretch your skills for a project that doesn't really matter! Select a category -- like Smart Garbage, or Edible Electronics -- pick a stupid project and a team, and get ready to build something stupid for a chance to win a useless prize! If you do not have a team organized prior to the event you can take your chances on showing up as an individual with no plans and no prep and form a team and idea at the hackathon! It's fun either way!
