Hackathons started popping up around the country several years ago. The first ones we announced to our students were small and focused on a particular topic. There are still some smaller ones sponsored by a company or organized around a central them, but there are also very large events that draw college students from all over the country.
Here's the article I wrote about one of our PhD grads winning the Hokie Health Code-A-Thon back in 2012. Dr. Hussein Ahmed and his wife, Dr. Samah Gad, are now the founders of Transpose.
Hackathons can do a lot of good when they have a focus. Consider helping out the folks at Noke Codes.
