Welcome to the KiroHacks Hackathon, hosted by Cal Poly's CS+AI Club! Join us at the MAC on May 2nd for a full-day, in-person hackathon where you'll have 13 hours (11:00 am–11:59 pm) to ideate, build, and showcase a project from scratch alongside fellow Mustangs using the Kiro IDE. All projects will be judged on a 60-point rubric across three criteria: project implementation, project innovation and design, and overall social good. The hackathon challenge theme and tracks will be annouced on the day of the hackathon, May 2nd.
During the hackathon, every competitor will receive free access to Kiro through thier school account, and AWS representatives will be on-site for networking, brainstorming, and debugging throughout the day. Attendance is capped at 300 Cal Poly students, so spots are limited. Build something that matters, we'll see you in there! All students must RSVP before the event! RSVP: Here
