This isn't your typical hackathon.

Food presents some of the most dauntingly complex problems around, and no good solution can be designed without a careful understanding of the users and interconnected systems. Hack//Dining is about creating real solutions, not just nifty apps. So we're collaborating with our partners to identify some industry-wide challenges. And to help participants attack problems smarter and faster, we're working with Studio Industries to create a new hackathon model called Design Hacking.

Design Hacking blends the best of Design Thinking and hackathons. Learn more about the process here.

 

Meet our rockstar judges.


Hailing from Union Square Hospitality Group, International Culinary Center and NY Tech Meetup, as well as Booker and Dax, wd~50, HICCup.co, S2G Ventures and Expa Capital, these luminaries will be judging the Hack//Dining demos and selecting the winners.
