T-Mobile is partnering with Curiosity Lab for a fun and fantastic 3-day hackathon weekend! Click here to learn more about Curiosity Lab!

We will have Workshops and Career Panels for you to learn about 5G, Telecom, and our internships. You’ll work on teams to come up with some creative solutions combining autonomous technology while considering data privacy, user experience, and developing ideas – by the way, cash money prizes are involved!

The hackathon is open to students who have intermediate to little coding experience. Teams can have as many as five members, and although registration is open to HBCU students in any degree program, each team should have at least two members in a computer science, computer engineering, or related major.

Participants will be asked to develop and pitch a creative and impactful tech solution or prototype that aligns with our un-carrier experience using the tools and training provided to them on-site - also keeping 5G and the connected experience in mind.

• Use of Technology
  Did the team integrate technology into their solution?
• Functionality
  Was a working, functional prototype demonstrated? How well does the solution perform and meet the purpose described?
• Creativity
  How creative was the team in developing a unique and innovative solution for the challenge?
• Scalability/Potential Impact
  Does this solution have the potential to have an impact at scale? Is it relevant to the team that created it?
• Design & Usability
  Is the intended functionality easy to use? Does it design augment the solution’s utility?
