The Entrepreneurial Intro

Event Lengths

Events can be as short as a few hours up to several weeks.

One day events are a great way to introduce the basic concepts of problem solving and ideation. They focus on the fun and creativity that come out of the hackathon structure.

Long term events give students the chance to full develop their ideas into usable products that can be launched directly to users or into larger accelerator programs.

One Day Or Less

A sprint through the concepts to introduce students to the basics

2-3 Days

More time give students the chance to further deepen their understanding of the problem solving structure

Week Long

Event

Outcomes

Depending on the length and your goals the outcomes of an

event can vary.

While designing the event we will discuss whether you'd like students to create a complete product, understand a concept, or simply have a good time.

The flexible structure of What The Hack events ensures that no matter the goal outcome students leave with skills and understanding applicable to problem solving in the real world.
