Nearly 300 students from across the country gathered for a sleepless 36-hour weekend coding marathon in Hodson Hall, starting the evening of Friday, Sept 15. Fueled by Red Bull and pizza, students from more than 20 universities "hacked" together solutions to real-world problems—from a machine learning algorithm to help you decide if that coffee cup really is recyclable to a digital pillbox that alerts you to over-the-counter drug interactions.
