Camp PolyHacks

Camp PolyHacks is a student-run, multidisciplinary hackathon dedicated to social entrepreneurship and human-centered design.

Throughout this three-day event, Cal Poly students of all backgrounds work in teams to ideate, design, pitch, and market their solution to a problem facing the San Luis Obispo community. It’s a Learn by Doing marathon of collaboration, learning, and creativity.

Our Focus

PROBLEM SOLVING

Camp PolyHacks is a Learn By Doing experience. We encourage campers of all levels to step out of their comfort zone to learn new skills and tackle problems head-on.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS

This hackathon goes beyond coding. Designers, entrepreneurs, and developers work together in teams to unite skill sets, experiences, and perspectives to execute ideas — just as you would in the workforce.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

We believe in using technology for good. Camp PolyHacks informs campers about important problems in the community and provides a platform to help solve them.
