WHAT’S A HACKATHON / DESIGN SPRINT?
A hackathon is a design sprint-like event, in which programmers, graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, domain experts, and others collaborate intensively on software projects. Our hackathon is for all GW students regardless of background or major to work on finding a solution to the challenge. All are welcome and encouraged to participate.
This virtual and in-person experiential and interactive hackathon exposes students to a real-life challenge from a CirrusLabs client perspective. Teams of students (who will be formed during the first day) will design and prototype a solution to the challenge.
Participants will walk away with the tools, tactics, and frameworks used by innovators, entrepreneurs, and designers to create new products and services. Using design-thinking basics, we'll explore how to improve the way people interact with traveling to the airport creating new ideas, solutions, products, and services.
