Hack the Lab: MichiganLabs' developer hackathon

Join MichiganLabs on Saturday, September 14, 2024 for a free hackathon designed for college students. You’ll compete in teams of two—so either register with a friend or we’ll match you with another developer when you arrive. You and your teammate will work on a problem as you compete for a $500 prize.

All you need to bring is a computer and a willingness to use programming tools that you're passionate about. You're free to use any resources that will help you succeed including internet access, AI tools, and our onsite MichiganLabs developers who will be available to coach you.

You’ll interact with professional developers from MichiganLabs for an entire day, network with other participants, and build up your project portfolio for your future career. Additionally, we recruit for our Associate program annually, making this event a great opportunity to showcase your collaboration skills.

The details:

• Who: Aspiring West Michigan developers enrolled in a college program*
• What: Working in teams of two, you’ll solve a problem that is platform agnostic
• When: Saturday, September 14: 9-5pm (Doors open at 8:45am and the problem will be revealed at 9am)
• Where: MichiganLabs’ office at 7471 River St. SE, Ada, MI 49301
