Summer Fling-athon
Every generation has its thing.
Boomers had job security.
Millennials had burnout.
Gen Z? We have flings. With people. With ideas.
Summer Fling-athon is a 22-hour emotional rollercoaster disguised as a hackathon. We’re closing out summer with a bang, one day to build something world-changing, one night to make every unhinged decision under the skyline.
