Our first two HackDartmouth events were a blast. In fact, we had such a great time with all you hackers that we just had to throw another one. Thus, we present to you: HackDartmouth III!

This time, we're getting even bigger, badder, and rad-er. We're bringing hundreds of students from across the country together with our sponsors to hack awesome projects and ideas to life over 24 hours. There will be plenty of amazing people, great prizes, and memorable times to be had, so mark your calendars for the weekend of September 24-25, 2015. In the meanwhile, check out some of the projects from our previous hackathon and dust off those ideas that have been sitting around all summer!
