  • Dave is the hackathon guy. In 2013, he started MHacks, the largest hackathon in the world. Since then, over 5,000 students have attended.
    He dropped out of the University of Michigan and devoted his life to spreading the hackathon movement. After Airbnb-ing for 17 months to start hackathons all over the country, he created HackMatch to help engineers find the perfect startup.
    Dave envisions a world where people can simply create things without worry. Hackathons provide that to attendees for a weekend. He wants them to have that for their entire lives.
    The Hacker Renaissance has only just begun.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

      TED talks are hosted by TED whereas TEDx is hosted by another organisation.

    Building is not hacking its inventing. This guy is seriously perverting what a hack truly is.

    • @DavidGScott707

      Exactly what I was thinking. Click bait. Creating and hacking are two completely different things. "I just hacked a painting." Really?

    i googled about hackathon and found that hackathon just ended today in my country (India). And contestants are shortlisted from engineering colleges, whereas i am doing bba but do programming as well (self teaching), can i actually apply one next year? or it is only for engineering students. ? :(
