NCSA is looking for Illinois undergraduate students who have big ideas and the creativity, skill, and drive needed to bring them to life. We're offering up to 15 paid innovation fellowships—selected students will work with NCSA mentors during the Spring 2013 semester.

Join us from 4 to 6 pm Oct. 24 for NCSA SPIN (Students Pushing Innovation). Meet NCSA staff and learn more about their research and areas of expertise. Free snacks will be provided.

After the SPIN open house, submit your personal fellowship proposal. Selected students will be given office space and support to develop their ideas in collaboration with their NCSA mentors.

Additional opportunities may also be available with NCSA and the Blue Waters project, the Illinois Informatics Institute, eDream, and the Illinois Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts, and Social Science.

You've been to our Campus Hackathons, now join us for our first ever Midwest Regional Hackathon, hosted at UIUC!

Location: 2405 Siebel, UIUC

At Facebook, we believe that every engineer has great ideas within them. Hackathons are 24-hours of collaborative computer programming that provide an opportunity for you to bring your product from an idea to a prototype overnight.

Hackathons are often the birthplace of new products such as the social calendar, chat, and HipHop for PHP.

Join the Facebook team as we stay up all night hacking and having a good time. We'll supply the food, fun diversions, prizes every hour on the hour, and some professional guidance. You bring your laptop, appetite, skills and ideas.

Start brainstorming ideas & forming teams. If you don't have a team on the day of, we'll help you find one. We'll see you there.

The winning team will get the chance to defend their title and compete against other winning teams from our worldwide Hackathons at the Hackathon Finals- held at FBHQ in November.

Get ready to hack like a champion!
