FAQ

  • Who can attend in person?
    WPI students can attend the event in-person in the top floor of the Rubin Campus Center. External participants (e.g. participants from other schools, states, etc.) can only participate in Hack@WPI 2022 virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions.
  • Do I need to know how to code in order to participate?
    You do not need to know how to code in order to participate! Hack@WPI 2022 is open to all kinds of STEM majors, 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.
  • Will hardware and tools be offered?
    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.

    Teams can range anywhere from 1 to 5 people.
