LinkedIn Hackathon for Economic Opportunity
Project Connect for linkedin students
How might we connect college students to other professional students for intermediate professional development beyond their current university network expanding to other universities (like MIT, Stanford, Berkeley) resulting in an outlet of support enriching their current level of skills, expertise, and discover like minded peers?
Design an experience that helps college students discover and connect to their classmates, without relying on email.
Challenge
Create opportunities for cross functional collaboration and ‘real world working experience’ for California College of the Arts MDes interaction design students & General Assembly developer/engineer students who don’t have time for an internship as apart of their program.
