Social Good Hackathon: Maximizing Potential @ UC Berkeley

​Build technology that serves your community.

​Build for Good is a one-day hackathon at UC Berkeley, hosted by Maximizing Potential, a student-run nonprofit founded at West Valley College.

​Build for Good brings students from universities all around together to do exactly that. In one day, you’ll join a team, build a working prototype, and demo it to the room.

​Tracks

​Each team picks one track to build for:

​Food Access & Local Food Systems: Help people find public food resources or navigate produce programs and how to take part in them.

​Homelessness Support: Make public information about meals, hygiene services, and support resources easier to find and understand.

​Youth Well-Being & Violence Prevention: Create an accessible guide to publicly available youth programs and community resources.

​Who should come?

​Everyone is welcome: students from any community college or university, at any skill level. You don’t need a team, an idea, or a coding background. Register individually or form teams in the morning.

​Bring a laptop, an open mind, and a willingness to collaborate.
