Hack-A-House

About the event

Washington State University and University of Idaho students are invited to participate in the Hack‑A‑House competition to tackle the challenge of affordable housing in the Pacific Northwest.

Students from any major are invited to participate in the 24‑hour hackathon-type event, starting at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1 in Carpenter Hall on the Pullman campus. The competition’s winning team will receive cash and a trip to the Hive Conference, a national housing conference held in Austin, Texas in early December.

The Hack‑A‑House competition will allow students to explore housing affordability challenges with leading experts in the field as well as to envision innovative solutions to housing finance, policy, design, and construction.

The event is sponsored by Ivory Innovations and Ivory Homes, Utah’s leading home building company. Visit the Hack‑A‑House website for more information and to register for the hackathon.
