*Innovation Xis a 24-hour hackathon facilitated by X-Labs. Teams of students from all majors and backgrounds are guided by mentors and are encouraged to create and compete. Idea and product generation areas include food/agriculture, healthcare, and consumer devices and tools.
Intelligence Hackathon
*Student teams from JMU and Virginia Military Institute were given 24 hours to create a surveillance prototype that could count the number of people walking past a designated area, but with a catch—their devices needed to be accurate enough to avoid counting the same person twice. Twelve JMU students spent the first day of their spring break developing functional devices in just 24 hours. The event gave students an opportunity to work as a design team, enabling a true entrepreneur workspace.
