We’re building the world’s first humanoid robot for space at Purdue University’s Humanoid Robot Club. We have 1500+ members, raised $400K+, and have partnered with AMD, GM, Caterpillar, Autodesk, etc. in 6 months. We’re setting a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest hardware hackathon next April.
We’d love for engineering students and researchers from the University of Washington to participate and set this record together!
This is our flyer.

What is this about:
Stark Hacks is the world’s largest hardware hackathon and the premier Purdue hardware hackathon, a 36-hour engineering marathon where ideas come off the screen and into real circuits. This Indiana hardware hackathon brings together hundreds of students from Purdue University and beyond to build innovative hardware projects.
Organized by the Humanoid Robot Club at Purdue University, hundreds of students prototype, solder, test, and create side by side at this Purdue hackathon. This spring, we’re setting an official World Record for World’s Largest Hardware Hackathon, making this the most significant hardware hackathon event in Indiana and beyond.
Don’t just watch innovation happen. Build it.
