What is Hack Potsdam?

Hack Potsdam is a 24-hour student-run hackathon where over a large number people meet to engage in collaborative computer programming by working one project with a team for the duration of the event. Hack Potsdam is open to all matriculated students over 18, alumni, and professors. The event is free to attend, and we will be serving food throughout the entire event to participants.

Bring an idea that you have and form a team or go solo. You'll be able to pitch your idea to everyone at the event kickoff.

Teams form organically around the ideas that are shared. Other than what type of pizza to eat, this is one of the more challenging decisions.

You'll be surprised what you create at the end of the event. Walk away with a great experience and something you can show off.

After 24 hours of hard work, you'll present your projects. Judges will then select 3 winners to take home some awesome prizes.

First Hack Potsdam

After the ACM President, Jesse, had been to Hack Upstate, he had the crazy idea to help bring one to Potsdam. With the tremendous help of the e-board members and a lot of other people we can't fit on this line to thank, that crazy idea came to life.
