Hack@CEWIT 2022

Hacking Into the Metaverse

February 18-20, 2022 | CEWIT 

The Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT) hosts its sixth annual student hackathon bringing over 300 regional hackers, industry sponsorship commitments, and hands-on tech talks and workshops together virtually for a two-day technical challenge awarding over $5K in prizes. This year's theme is Hacking Into the Metaverse, and we will be featuring NFTs, Blockchain, Crypto, the Metaverse, and more. Technology has become more important than ever this past year and we believe students can create incredible new innovations to further enhance the quality of life with technology.

The two-day digital hack culminating during President's Day is designed in collaboration with our core industry partners, sponsors, and member entrepreneurs to select scenarios that will have a direct, real-world application to their product portfolios. All students must pre-register in advance.  

Hack@CEWIT is a Major League Hacking Event

Major League Hacking (MLH) is the official student hackathon league. Each year, MLH powers over 200 weekend-long invention competitions that inspire innovation, cultivate communities and teach computer science skills to more than 65,000 students around the world. MLH is an engaged and passionate maker community, consisting of the next generation of technology leaders and entrepreneurs.

Student Hacker Testimonials

"One of the most well-organized hackathons and keeps getting better every year!" Ian, Johnson and Wales University 

"Hack@CEWIT was a great experience. We built a productivity app for kids called "Diego the Dog". Most of our team came into this hackathon with zero Flutter experience. Through a combination of YouTube tutorials and online examples, we increased our Flutter knowledge tenfold. Hack@CEWIT just might have started something really big for us!" Stony Brook University Student

"Hack@CEWIT is an amazing experience to learn & make use of new technology & make new friends along the way!" John, Stony Brook University

"My team and I came in at knowing almost nothing about building a chrome extension but we came out winning a prize for best education hack and having learned very much!"  Farmingdale University Student
