TechConnect Hacks is the flagship hackathon at George Mason University where innovators can play, learn, create, game, and revolutionize technology. Students enjoy plenty of workshops, activities, and networking events, along with free swag. This provides hackers an opportunity to build their resumes and make memories that will last a lifetime. The event is entirely free, and no experience is required to attend.
 
TechConnect Hacks will feature a double hackathon for the first time, providing students with even more ways to participate and expand their knowledge.
 
PatriotHacks is an all-encompassing hackathon where innovators can turn ideas into projects they are passionate about; come, dive in, and make incredible things alongside fellow creators.
 
HackOverflow provides teams with hands-on opportunities to develop products using both hardware and software and recognizes teams based on best societal impact, cost-effectiveness, most likely to become a startup, and the top 3 teams overall.
 
For both hackathons, students work in teams and have mentors to complete projects. There will be several opportunities and prizes, including the “Best All-Female Hack” award at PatriotHacks and a Women in STEM Panel at HackOverflow featuring successful women entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers.
