Tech4All Hackathons
"The first annual Mills Tech4All Hackathon, pioneered by the Mills Computer Club and the Mills Interdisciplinary Computer Engineers, is truly an event for all -- we welcome those who have little to no background in technology or product development. This is a hackathon rooted in ideas and creative thinking, tackling the problems around us, and using technology as a vehicle to discuss and create viable solutions. That is why we strongly emphasize the interdisciplinary aspect of the Mills computer science program. Creating a space that intertwines technology and interdisciplinary education empowers us to truly create solutions that address real-world problems."

Spring 2016 Hackathon
The theme of this hackathon was “Past. Present. Future,” and it was rooted in ideas and creative thinking, tackling the problems around us, and using technology as a vehicle to discuss and create viable solutions. The goal of this hackathon was to address and solve problems caused by a changing future coming into conflict with aspects of the past. We invited people to find ways to use technology to address community issues, and honor our past while embracing the future.
This inaugural hackathon was held on April 2, 2016. Click here to learn more (historical) information about the first hackathon, including names of teams.
