CUNY Hackathon, NYC's largest collegiate hackathon with nearly 900 attendees last spring, is now in its 6th iteration this fall, with this being the 2nd time it's virtual and the 3rd time it's student-run. We welcome all CUNY students and recent grads (within a year of graduating) regardless of major, skill level, and background.

With the goal of bringing together students in software development, design, marketing and entrepreneurship to build solutions for problems unique to the New York City community, this 36-hour event will see students create projects and learn from workshops and activities.

Requirements

You need to have a 2-minute video demo and a public Github repo in your Devpost submission.
