**We’re excited to share that we will be partnering with WPI’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship to allow dual-participation in the WPI Social Innovation Challenge! The challenge itself is open to WPI students and alumni only, and includes additional workshops, mentorship opportunities, and prize eligibility! If you have a team of 2-5, you can register for both events and submit the same project for both - you can submit your progress/minimum viable product on Sunday for Hack@WPI judging, and continue working on your project through Monday to submit for the Innovation Challenge judging.
All participants (including non-WPI students) are welcome to participate in the 4:30PM workshop on Friday, and 11AM workshop on Saturday!
You can pre-register for the Social Innovation Challenge and/or the Design for Evil and Public Interest Technology workshops here:

Due to updated COVID-19 protocols, no food or beverages of any kind will be permitted at the event venue. We will be providing snack packs for WPI participants to pick up and eat at home. We will also be providing coupons to all U.S. based participants to order food to their place of residence - more info on that to TBA!
WPI students commuting to campus who are unable to return to their place of residence to eat are encouraged to reach out to us at hack@wpi.edu to discuss accommodations.
WPI students who are compliant with WPI's COVID testing protocol can attend the event in-person in the top floor of the Rubin Campus Center.
All other participants (e.g. participants from other schools, states, etc.) may only participate in Hack@WPI 2022 virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions.
You do not need to know how to code in order to participate! Hack@WPI 2022 is open to all kinds of STEAM disciplines, and we encourage both software and hardware hacks. This means the event isn't limited to just CS majors or programmers -- practically anybody can participate.
Tools, hardware and machines are available to WPI students in the Makerspace in the Innovation Studio; students should see makerspace.wpi.edu for more details.
Virtual participants will need to find their own tools, hardware, and machines to utilize for the hackathon.
Teams can range anywhere from 1 to 5 people.
Due to updated COVID-19 protocols, we are no longer able to provide food for the event.
