Student Ingenuity @HackMIT 2016

HackMIT is an annual event hosted by MIT where students come from around the world to compete. Create a working piece of software or hardware within 24 hours. This year, more than 100 teams worked through the night and what they developed was amazing. As a hackathon mentor, I had the opportunity to witness their creativity and problem-solving skills up close. From software that automatically generates lyrics from your favorite musician to an Airbnb-inspired tool that enables you to dine with locals while traveling, there was no shortage of creativity and ingenuity.
