An Interdisciplinary Hackathon
Hamp Hack is the first ever interdisciplinary hackathon in the Pioneer Valley. While most hackathons involve techie people making more tech. At Hamp Hack, we are doing it different. People from different fields involved in technology, design/fabrication and art collaborate intensively on developing working prototypes that attempt to solve problems resonating in the world around us. With this event, the aim is to provide students with a platform that gives their unique idea an escape velocity into reality. And build a better environment for interdisciplinary ideas and interdisciplinary thinking.
