Join us at HackUMBC’s Innovate Good, a 24-hour student Hackathon on Saturday and Sunday April 29th- 30th, 2017.  Innovate Good is themed for creating software or hardware projects to benefit social causes. Participants can learn new skills, make new friends, and share ideas with others. We encourage all students from different backgrounds and disciplines to come join in the hacking! 

There are four main tracks, each with its own prize category:

• Health/Environmental
• Legal/Justice
• Housing
• Education

If you don't have a team or an idea, it's not a problem. You can find a team once you arrive. Most hackers arrive without a team. You will often find inspiration for ideas at the hackathon. We will also help guide students to others who want to hack for the same track.

If you don't code, it's a wonderful opportunity to learn something new. There will be workshops geared towards beginners and mentors to help you throughout the event. Don't let this stop you from applying! We want those in the non-tech majors as much as we want students in the tech majors.
