researchIn this project, students will plan and allocate resources to their very own mini event! Consider themes, maximize attendance, and determine how to make the event revenue neutral (or positive) to ensure we fulfil our mission sustainably.
Students will need to:
- Research the educational needs of hackathon goers, including those who've attended our events in the past, and determine opportunities for improvement.
- Identify funding opportunities, including from grant programs or sponsorships, to support the event
- Outline the core activities of the mini-event (who, what, where, why, when, and how)
eHacks will meet with students at least weekly, for an hour, to answer questions and track progress. eHacks will provide students access to eHacks' Google Workspace accounts, which has our past workshops since our first event. Students will be expected to keep these files confidential.
