Tech Challenges

Through UNC CS datathons, hackathons, and conferences, students transform theoretical knowledge into practical skills while solving real-world problems. Sponsors don’t just support these events, they discover exceptional talent and shape the next generation of developers. Our tiered sponsorship packages include opportunities for tabling, mentoring, judging, track sponsorship, workshop leadership, and comprehensive branding.
