In partnership with the Mayor's Office of Tech and Innovation and MKTG INC, Warby Parker presents HudsonHack: NYC Intern Edition—a 24-hour hackathon created specifically for tech interns in New York City.
As the premier destination for engineering organizations in the world, New York City has developed a well-known knack for collaboration (and friendly competition)—and HudsonHack plans on showcasing that to the fullest. This event will be the first of its kind, bringing the next generation of technology leaders together to celebrate the power of tech and innovation across the city.
Throughout the experience, you and 200 interns will have an opportunity to compete against each other (independently or with a team—both are welcomed) in hopes of building industry-changing products. While facing off, interns will have access to one-on-one advice from world-class engineers, plus the ability to use state-of-the-art APIs and data as foundation for their ideas. And in true Warby Parker fashion, participants can also look forward to a few unexpected twists along the way. (Watch out!)
