BlackRock is trusted to manage more money than any other investment firm. Their business is investing on behalf of their clients — from large institutions to parents and grandparents, teachers, nurses, doctors and people from all walks of life who entrust their savings to BlackRock.

The challenge of Blackrock’s 24-hour hackathon is to create a solution that will help people become more conscious about their spending habits. Your task will be to create a product or a service which can take any shape: an application, a subscription service, a gadget…anything you can think of. It’s all up to you and your team! Learn more about the event here http://blackrock.designterminal.org

We are looking for the next generation of innovators! Are you passionate about technology and finance and you possess an entrepreneurial mindset? Apply as part of a diverse team for the upcoming BlackRock Hackathon.

You don’t have to be a computer science or finance undergraduate, as we value the ability to think outside the box more than any degree. Though having a developer on your team is definitely not a disadvantage, and more than recommended. Hack a real-world problem in the financial sector and design the most innovative solution. Challenge yourself and register now at http://blackrock.designterminal.org! Hack it ‘till you make it!
