Hack@CEWIT 2022: Hacking Into the Metaverse

Hack@CEWIT2022, the 6th annual 43 hour hackathon, is taking place on February 18 - 20, 2022, with Major League Hacking (MLH). A hackathon is a sprint-like event that brings together software and hardware programmers to collaborate on a project for a short period of time. This virtual event is open to all college students (undergrad, graduate and PhD). Over 5K in CEWIT prizes will be up for grabs along with company sponsored prizes. This year the hack will focus on NTFs and the metaverse.

One student from Johnson and Wales said Hack@CEWIT is " one of the most well-organized hackathons and keeps getting better every year!"

Normally the building is filled with over 150 students traveling from all over the country. This year the hackathon will be held virtually and will attract students that might not have been able to attend if in person. Instead of the traditional in-person workshops, most workshops will be pre-recorded and give students the ability to watch when convenient for them during the weekend. Students that participate in the hackathon will have the opportunity to make connections with students, industry sponsors, and the CEWIT team. A large number of students have gone on to internships due to connections made at Hack@CEWIT.
