dumb Hackathon - BDPA Memphis

Not every project needs to change the world in 48 hours. The Dumb Hackathon is a low-pressure gateway into hackathons and maker events, designed for anyone who wants to experiment, learn, and actually finish something, without worrying about polish, best practices, or being "professional."

What is the "Dumb" Hackathon?

This is your excuse to try that tool you've been curious about, experiment with hardware you've never touched, or build that ridiculous idea you'd never pitch at a "serious" hackathon. Code an app. Prototype with Arduino. Build a physical game. Sketch wild ideas. Whatever you're curious about, there's space for it here.

Smart ideas are welcome. Unconventional ideas are encouraged. The only goal: Dream big, Unblock your creativity, Make something, and don't be afraid to Break things along the way.

Present your project at the end and stay for the raffle for a chance to win a useful prize!

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
