The Hackathon Has Ended

A Hackathon made with love...
Dearest student hacker,
We've got something to tell you. We like you. Like, like-like you. So we organized a lil' something (for you):
JumboHack - we're not like other hackathons, we're ~chill~. Come build something cool, meet some new people, or learn about something you'd never heard of before. Show off your skills, whether that's coding, designing, or project management - whatever you're good at, you sound like our type.
We'll be in the Joyce Cummings Center (@ Tufts University) on February 17th/18th, 2024 - can't wait to see you there ;)
With love,
The JumboHack Team
Project Tracks
We've got a few project tracks to guide your ideas and help make something awesome. Ace that hack!
Racial Justice Advocacy
This track is for projects that aim to promote racial equity and combat racism in various domains such as health, education, criminal justice, and media. You can use data analysis, machine learning, web development, or any other tools to create solutions that address the challenges and opportunities of racial justice advocacy.
Environmentalism
This track is for projects that aim to protect the environment and mitigate the effects of climate change. You can use sensors, IoT, blockchain, or any other tools to create solutions that monitor, reduce, or offset the environmental impact of human activities.
Education
This track is for projects that aim to improve the quality and accessibility of education for learners of all ages and backgrounds. You can use gamification, VR/AR, AI, or any other tools to create solutions that enhance the learning experience, outcomes, and opportunities of education.
Political Awareness
This track is for projects that aim to increase the political awareness and engagement of citizens and communities. You can use social media, data visualization, NLP, or any other tools to create solutions that inform, persuade, or mobilize people on political issues and causes.
General
This track is for projects that do not fit into any of the above categories, but still have a positive social impact. You can use any tools or technologies to create solutions that address any problem or need that you are passionate about. Here's a little inspo: food insecurity, youth/homeless/elderly advocacy, LGBT advocacy, accessibility, connecting with community.

We're planning on hosting a bunch of events alongside the work you do on your project. We'll be working with other clubs on campus to host workshops, cultural events, and have some food to keep you hacking. Check back later for more info!
Food
What's a date without some (free) food? We'll have lunch and dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday
Travel
How to spot a baddie 101: they use public transportation. We're right next to the Medford/Tufts stop on the Green Line, and a 20 minute walk from Davis on the Red Line
Sleeping
No sleeping over on the first date - we'll be shutting down at 10 on Saturday so you can get your beauty sleep
