The SPARK hackathon is by far the best hackathon I’ve been to! I loved the energy everyone had throughout the 24 hours. The challenge was innovative and unique as it encompassed the fundamentals of space exploration, business, and computer science. I also had the opportunity to meet new people that were interested in the STEM field just as I was. It was a priceless experience and I can’t wait to be back next year!

SPARK Hackathon was the first-ever hackathon I went to and honestly it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It was a great environment for new hackers and the mentors were great help when we got stuck on an idea of how to move forward.

I had the opportunity to compete in the 2018 SPARK hackathon and I have to say kudos to the SPARK team, loved the event. The opening ceremonies included great speakers with inspiring insights that were relatable to us participants. What I loved about the challenge question is how open-ended it was - the teams were given full creative control with the ideas encouraging us to have fun with it.
