The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.

Startup Weekend, hosted by the Oberlin Entrepreneurship Club, was a two and a half day team event in September that gave students the tools needed to take an idea from concept to execution. The weekend started with featured speaker Charles Stack, CEO of Cleveland's FlashStarts,a leading early-stage startup incubator. Students also worked with mentors, developers, designers, and entrepreneurs. At the end of the event teams pitched their concepts for a chance to win prizes like Oculus Go, Amazon Echo, and Amazon Gift Cards.
