Sponsorship Resources

Wolfram:

We're proud to be sponsored by Wolfram, a company that provides computational technology for a variety of fields, including research, education, and technical development. For 6 months, access Wolfram|One($830 value). The access materials will be sent through email upon registration.

  • In the Wolfram Cloud or on local hardware, Wolfram Language is the ultimate hackathon power tool. With its revolutionary approach of building as much as possible into the language—and automating programming and deployment—Wolfram Language lets you take big ideas and turn them into reality in the space of a hackathon.
  • Wolfram Language is an easy to learn, versatile and powerful programming language, allowing you to program anything from physics simulations to web forms to digital art to AI and ML applications quickly and easily.

  • Alongside your access to Wolfram|One, you will also receive the Wolfram API, which allows you to connect to the massive computable database that powers Wolfram|Alpha.

  • If you utilize the Wolfram Language in your project and post your project on Wolfram Community, you will be eligible for a $500 scholarship to one of the research-based summer programs if you apply and are offered a place.

Accessing the Technology

If you use the Wolfram Language in your project, please email carolc@wolfram.com with the subject line "Q25 Hack Project" within 30 days of the conclusion of your event with a link to your project in the body of the message. She will send you instructions on how to obtain eligibility for a $500 scholarship to a 2025 Wolfram Summer Program.

Stumped on coming up with ideas? Here is a list of potential project ideas for participants, courtesy of Aayush Gupta from MIT! These ideas are totally valid for use for any of our events--just be sure to credit Aayush with the initial inspiration, and expand significantly on these small prompts.

Check out these resources (courtesy of HackMIT) for help with participating in hackathons, programming, and working on more advanced topics!

If you wish to submit supplemental documents along with your video presentation to give judges some text information to work with, refer to this document template for inspiration! Note that this step is entirely optional.
