Our Crowdfunding Groups
On behalf of the HawkHack organizing team, we'd like to use this opportunity to thank you all again for your generous support! The event wouldn't have been such a success without everyone's support. We had 150 participants, which hit the capacity we planned. The participants came from Montclair State University, nearby universities, community colleges, and even high schools!
We were delighted to see that the participants built awesome software and hardware projects, among which, 25 were demonstrated and 5 projects won prizes in different categories.
We received media coverage from the university and also outside media:

We'd appreciate it if you can share the project page with your friends and family and encourage them to support this project!
Also, help spread the words because we are planning for the next edition of HawkHack in the next semester!

What a weekend it has been.
As you all know, this past weekend MSU had it's very first hackathon named "HawkHack", hosted by yours truly, the MSU Computer Club!
The turnout was incredible. We had an awesome time with our participants and really spent a nice time with one another, becoming close friends by the end of the event. One way we accomplished this was by creating an ecosystem where you could do a lot and weren't forced to do one singular thing. From interacting with industry professionals, to playing games and being silly, to getting down and dirty with the code, we tried our best to keep HawkHack as diverse as possible.
We took plenty of photos from the event and have posted them online, which you could find here: https://msucc.shutterfly.com/pictures/8
Here are some statistics from the event:
