Students from any university, no matter your skill set, are invited to build weird, wacky, and wonderful projects.
If you need a break from your project, we will have workshops and side events lined up throughout the week. We want you to get the most out of your time at CovHack, so make sure to check these side events out!
Please note that only projects submitted by those with a CovHack2021 ticket are eligible to demo their project and be in with a chance of winning one of our prizes.

You can submit anything you want (so long as it abides by the MLH code of conduct!).
