Hackathons

Hackathons are usually 24 hour events in which software and/or hardware developers collaborate with each other to build amazing solutions. At the pinnacle of innovation, Columbia Engineering Entrepreneurship supports our partners to make these events possible on our campus.

ADI DevFest

DevFest is Columbia’s week-long workshop series and hackathon about learning, community, and building amazing things with technology that provides a great opportunity to show off your creativity.

MAKECU is Columbia’s annual Spring hardware hackathon. It was started in 2015 by members of Columbia’s IEEE Student Chapter to cultivate a stronger hacking culture and encourage a new generation of engineers at Columbia who aspire to make great things.

HackNY

Co-founded by Chris Wiggins, associate professor in APAM, Chief Data Scientist at the NYTimes, and co-director of Columbia SEAS Entrepreneurship Programs, this hackathon is hosted on Columbia’s Morningside campus in the spring semester.
