​What is Shipwrecked?

​Shipwrecked is a once-in-a-lifetime, four-day hackathon organized by Hack Clubbers—for Hack Clubbers. It is a themed hackathon where participants are invited to build creative projects inspired by the idea of being shipwrecked—right on the unique, historic grounds of Cathleen Stone Island in the Boston Harbor.

​Shipwrecked starts on Friday, August 8th at 4 p.m. and ends on Monday, August 11th at 3 p.m. This event offers a blend of outdoor adventure and tech creativity in a truly inspiring setting.
