About the challenge

The SJSUHacks is a challenge for students to use their skills and creativity to come up with solutions that address pressing issues facing our world. The hackathon is centered around five categories: sustainability, education, health and wellness, entertainment, and social justice. Participants will be encouraged to think outside the box and develop innovative ideas that can make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

The challenge will provide participants with an opportunity to develop valuable skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, while also gaining experience in using technology to address real-world problems.
