  • What is ProfHacks?

    ProfHacks is the largest annual event held by the Rowan IEEE Student Branch! It is a 24-hour Hackathon where you can create innovative hardware and software solutions to solve real world problems. For 2025, the theme is "Casino Hack", so be prepared for illustrious decor, high stakes hacking, and a night of fun! Go solo or with a team and follow the theme, or just build whatever your heart desires! There are a variety of different activities you can do including:

    • 3D Printing
    • Programming
    • Playing Games
    • Attending Workshops
    • Getting Free Merch
    • Winning Prizes
    • HAVING FUN!!!

    Last year was ProfHacks 2024, which was the 9th iteration of our annual hackathon. The theme of the hackathon was "Island Hack", which had a series of tropicaly themed events and activities imbued with the island spirit.
