“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!”

"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!"
Kennedy Wendl
Computer and Data Science
"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!"
Gabrielle Pederson
Aerospace
"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!”
