"My favorite part of HackIowaState was being able to have a semi-completed project in just a short amount of time. In classes, you take weeks to finish a little assignment... but here, in just 24 hours, we had some really cool looking projects!"

OUR STUDENTS AND BUILDERS LOVE HORIZON EVENTS
“I liked that I was required to build something in just 24 hours, unlike my classes. I usually wouldn’t go out of my way to learn new technologies like React. My teammates and the feedback from the judges was very helpful! I would totally come back!”
Noah Lim

"For my first hackathon, I didn't have too many expectations, but I had a great time. I liked the idea of the workshops and spreading the coding throughout the day. I was very, very well fed!"

"I came to HackIowaState to give myself the environment that would force me to work on a project that I otherwise would have. It's nice to be pressured to work on a project with people that otherwise may not have because of school and other responsibilities. My favorite part was winning, but I had way too much fun!"
Nicholas Erickson
Software Engineering
"My takeaway from HackIowaState - choose your team wisely. What I appreciated about this event over other events like game jams was that it was more broad and I got to solve actual issues. I did like the food, I really did appreciate being fed!"
William Clemmons Jr
Software Engineering
“The event was super nice. I got to work with a team in a real-world, work environment. With a team, we were able to keep each other accountable and I tried a new database I never would have before. I would come back, it was fun!”
