IdeaForge is St. Cloud State University's in-person hackathon, and this time we are inviting students from other universities and community colleges to join us. Students will pitch tech project ideas, then break into teams to develop an app or solve an industry challenge. Teams will present and compete for prizes! We currently have two sponsors: ElevenLabs and Immersion Data Solutions (IDS) who will each present a challenge from their company as an option for student teams to work on.
Students at any level of experience are encouraged to attend. Invite your friends!
