Hack A Thons

A hackathon is an event where individuals or teams come together—usually over 1–3 days—to solve problems by building working prototypes using tech. You don’t need to be a pro coder; it’s all about creativity, collaboration, and fast execution.

Participants pick a problem or challenge, form a team, and build a solution—usually a web app, mobile app, hardware device, or AI-powered tool. At the end, teams present their project to judges or peers.

A Studio app

People can see the studio schedule and who is working that day or time they want to come. There is a ‘regular’ schedule and a ‘bookable’ schedule. They can make reservations for both regular and bookable schedules. They pay in advance for bookable time. The app will show what staffing makers they know how to do and their Maker profile. Has an easy way to add new studio times, and special event descriptions. Both web and phone apps.
