WELCOME TO HACKPOLY!
Hackpoly is a 24-hour annual hackathon event at Cal Poly Pomona. Participants trade their sleep for a weekend and join a team to create a project - typically software or hardware - in an environment optimized for creativity. At the end of the event, the participants demonstrate their projects to fellow hackers, visitors, and a panel of judges. The event is hosted by Poly Founders.
