Get involved

For students

Join MESH hackathons to collaborate with peers from technology, design, business, and the humanities. Expect a 3-day (≈36-hour) sprint with hands-on workshops, supportive mentors, and the chance to pitch ideas that matter.

For mentors

Share your expertise in product, engineering, design, entrepreneurship, or research. Mentors help teams sharpen briefs, validate ideas, and prepare for demos — a high-impact way to give back over a focused weekend.

For volunteers & ambassadors

Support event logistics, community outreach, or storytelling. Volunteers help with registration, photography, and creating an inclusive atmosphere throughout the weekend.

Safety & conduct

MESH events prioritize respectful collaboration. We expect all participants to follow the hackathon code of conduct: be inclusive, respect differing viewpoints, and report issues to the organizing team immediately.
