Welcome to the Make IT Wright 2025 Hackathon Repository

This year's hackathon came together because of our awesome new CS/CEG Alumni Assoctiation,

• Their Discord
• WSU Guardian Article about the Hackathon
• Photos

The goals of this year's hackathon were:

• Inspire students to collaborate on new and interesting projects in the field
• Foster relationships between students and alumni (great for networking and finding out what the career is "really like")
• Challenge students to push beyond their limits to learn and make something new

Given the above I have to conclude that this year's Hackathon was a complete success. Every team that made it across the finish line demonstrated that they have what it takes to learn, collaborate, and execute in a professional way to create a product. I'm proud of every team that participated and can't wait to see you next year!

Thanks all!
