The ECU Spark Hackathon will take place on Friday, March 20 from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM at Ballard Sounds.

A hackathon is a collaborative, team-based event where students work together to build a project or solve a challenge within a set time frame. Participants brainstorm ideas, design solutions, and create something innovative — all in one day.

This event is open to students of all majors and experience levels. Whether you’re brand new to coding or have prior experience, there is a track designed for you.

Event Details:
• Beginner and General Tracks
• Prizes awarded to 1st place teams in each track
• Teams of up to 4 students
• Lunch and dinner provided
• 50/50 raffle
• Open to all majors

Students are encouraged to form teams in advance. If you’re looking for teammates, connect through the ACM@ECU Discord to meet others forming groups.

Proudly sponsored by Hyster-Yale Materials Handling.

We look forward to seeing what you create.
