8th Annual Hackathon
Innovating for Accessibility
Industry City, Brooklyn, NY
February 25, 2026
CIJE is proud to announce that our 8th annual Hackathon will take place at Industry City on Wednesday, February 25th, 2026!
The program will include an intense day of coding, manufacturing, designing, and presenting! This year’s theme challenges participants to design innovative solutions for real-world environmental problems.
To accommodate additional students, there will be two concurrent hacks. Up to 12 students (3 teams of 4) may attend from each school. 2 teams may participate in an “Innovation” hack, where they’ll design, code, manufacture and pitch a product. 1 team may participate in a Remote Aquatic Challenge, where students will develop a marine craft to complete a water based challenge.
Students must currently be in a CIJE-Tech engineering course to participate.
The 8th Annual Hackathon, an exciting one-day event centered around the Internet of Things (IoT), will take place on February 25, 2026 in Industry City, Brooklyn.
