  • Groover Labs 334 Saint Francis Wichita, KS, 67202 United States (map)

Hackathon, sponsored by EY – This high-octane weekend starting Oct. 1 forms teams around an idea and then evolves into a full-on rally to design, build and hustle your way to the winner of a cash prize for the top product. apply here.

Now don’t worry, coding isn’t required. This is a high octane weekend – 54hrs-ish to be more precise. It starts on Friday night by bringing your best, whacky, fun, or totally serious ideas and pitching them in a 1 minute lightning round!

It could be as simple as – ” I think making a board game would be really cool, I have never done it, but I play them a lot and I really like cats, so let’s make one for cats.”

Or as complex as – “I hate not knowing which subscriptions I have on my credit cards, I want to build a bot that cancels them off for me.”

The point is to have fun, try new things, and meet new people!

In fact, every team needs a few different types to be successful – Hustler, Hacker, Designers either one of each or a few to make a project really shine. Startups are a team sport after all!
