OHIO 2014

To foster a tech culture amongst students at Ohio State and cultivate technical talent in Columbus and the Ohio region, “OHI/O” — Ohio State’s Second Annual Hackathon and programming contest was held Friday October 3rd 2014 through Sunday October 5th 2014. Over 200 undergraduate and graduate student programmers built working software and demonstrate it to a live audience of students, faculty, and representatives from tech companies. Students competed for over $5000 in prizes and will be judged on categories including technical difficulty, creativity, usefulness, and presentation.

7. Next-gen Teaching / Learning •  “I loved the fact that this event gave me time to learn how to implement real world applications of Computer Science” •  "The ability to sit down for an extended period of time and just work on a project allowed me to accomplish more in 24 hours than I have since the start of the school year and it made me feel like I actually did something useful for once." •  "Ability to create something useful and learn from others." •  "It allowed me to participate and gain experience in a group programming setting”
