Tough Tech Week

Hackachusetts is the first statewide hackathon: one day, seven campuses, hundreds of student builders from campuses across the Commonwealth!

On Saturday, October 24, teams in Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, Amherst, and Lowell will build from 8 AM to 8 PM, all on the same clock. Categories span the industries Massachusetts leads in: healthcare and biotech, robotics, quantum, defense, climate tech, cyber, energy, and more!
