About

Hack Dearborn is the University of Michigan, Dearborn’s largest hackathon, hosted by the Google Developer Group on Campus. For its fifth year, Hack Dearborn: Conjure Reality brings hundreds of students together for 24 hours of building, learning, and a little magic. Teams arrive with an idea and leave with something they have built, backed by mentors, workshops and a campus that stays awake with them.

Conjure a world where innovation reshapes reality itself, and turn imagination into something people can use. Four tracks point the way: Enchanted Transit, Mindscapes, Shaping Society and Ideation Matrix.

Four tracks, one theme: reshape reality.
