PLACEHack 2023: Student Challenge to Create UMD’s Next Great Space

 


One challenge, 24 hours, copious snacks, $5,000 in cash prizes!


PLACEHack challenges student teams to tackle a place-based problem in College Park—an underused space, a dangerous intersection, post-COVID dining spaces—and disrupt its course. At PLACEHack, unconventional ideas, teamwork and pizza converge to inspire great new spaces at UMD!


February 10-11, 6:00PM-6:00PM

UMD Architecture School’s Great Space


THIS YEAR’S CHALLENGE: Reconceive a parking lot at UMD’s future Aviation Village into a campus asset (that might actually be built!)

Teams and individual registration are NOW OPEN!
Registration Deadline: February 6th


PLACEHack is open to all UMD undergraduates and teams must be interdisciplinary: build your own team or get matched by PLACEHack!
