Build4Students: Students building for students. Design and build tools to make student life better.

Build4Students is a student-run, beginner-friendly hackathon where students create tools that improve student life.

Students face challenges every day, like managing schoolwork, staying organized, maintaining mental wellness, and staying connected with their peers. In this hackathon, participants will be able to DESIGN and BUILD projects that help solve real problems that students face.

Whether you're building a study tool, or productivity app, or something completely new. Build4Students is about creating solutions for students, by students.

Any technology, any skill level, any idea, as long as it helps students.
