Golden Hack: Impact Weekend
The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation’s (CEI) Golden Hack is a weekend where students from all majors, backgrounds and levels of experience come together for a common focus: To learn, brainstorm and share ideas and creations. Students will work in a collaborative environment to design, develop and pitch ideas that solve real world problems. This is an opportunity for students to expand their skill set while challenging themselves in their areas of interest and networking with UNC Charlotte faculty, industry leaders and community founders.

My experience with Golden Hack was very transformative. It gave me a good understanding of what it takes to build something from scratch and turn it into a pitchable product. I feel more inspired to pursue my entrepreneurial goal.
