Spark Hackathon x Case Competition is a 24-hour innovation challenge where students come together to design, prototype, and pitch creative solutions to a real-world problem.
By combining the hands-on building of a hackathon with the strategic thinking of a case competition, Spark pushes participants to go beyond coding and think deeply about why their solutions matter.
At Spark, teams of up to 4 are challeged with a real life case, centered on social good, an issue that impacts communities locally or globally.
Spark is designed for everyone: developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and anyone excited to solve meaningful problems. It's a space where students work collaboratively, learn new skills, and innovate for causes that drive positive change.
Our sponsors make it possible for us to give our prospective developers, designers, and builders the opportunity to build for social good. Hackers make meaningful connections with our sponsors beyond just the hackathon weekend. Stay tuned as we confirm more sponsors for Spark!
