About
George Hacks
George Hacks is a student-led innovation organization at the George Washington University, dedicated to empowering the next generation of problem-solvers in healthcare. Since our founding in 2018, we’ve provided a platform for students from diverse backgrounds to collaborate, think outside the box, and address real-world problem-statements presented by experts in the healthcare industry. Our flagship event, the annual George Hacks Innovation Hackathon, brings together creative minds from across the D.C. metropolitan area to develop impactful solutions at the intersection of medicine, technology, and entrepreneurship. Through hands-on experiences, mentorships, problem solving, and interdisciplinary teamwork, George Hacks provides students a platform to harness their skills for the greater good.

Do We Create our Own Problem Statement to Prototype or are We Provided One?
Both! This year, we have 4 tracks and one is the Create Your Own track where teams can create a problem statement on Day 1 (in relation to the 2025 theme) to prototype a solution for. Alternatively, the four main tracks include problem statements (related to the 2025 theme) for you to choose one to prototype.
Do We Need to Build a Fully Working Prototype by Day 2 of the Hackathon?
No! We ask that you prototype your problem statement to your best abilities and mainly focus on your idea, design process, challenges you experienced and how you overcame them, and future developments.
