Dolphin Hacks is the premier student hackathon at the College of Staten Island, bringing together passionate innovators for a 12-hour experience of building, learning, and collaboration. Participants will conceptualize, design, and build projects that address real-world challenges, with access to mentors and resources throughout the day. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, Dolphin Hacks is designed to help you learn new technologies, meet like-minded people, build your portfolio, and compete for prizes. Challenge tracks include Healthcare, Sustainability, Education, and Business.
