HackSLC is St. Lawrence College’s first student-led hackathon, bringing together students from different programs to collaborate, innovate, and build real solutions in just one day.
This event is designed for everyone — whether you’re from Computer Programming, Business, Marketing, Design, Healthcare, or any other program, you are welcome to participate.
Our mission is to provide a space where students can:
-
Work in teams and solve meaningful problems
-
Build hands-on projects and real prototypes
-
Pitch ideas in front of judges and guests
-
Gain portfolio experience and confidence
-
Network with mentors, professors, and industry professionals
No experience is required — beginners and first-timers are highly encouraged to join.
Even if you only have a simple idea, this is your chance to learn, collaborate, and create something real.
