We believe that the best way to solve a problem is by collaborating with diverse students from different disciplines and bringing ideas to action. And this action is ignited through Hamp Hack; an interdisciplinary 24-hour dynamic hackathon for the five college consortium in the pioneer valley. The event serves to provide students with resources and mentoring to make working prototype solutions for problems that resonate in the world around us.
