Summary

The official site for the Weber State AI Hackathon. It is included as evidence of its own emptiness: at capture the whole site amounted to a few hundred characters across three pages, and it had already been rolled forward to advertise a March 20, 2027 event.

It is cited for two facts only — that the hackathon is a real Weber State University property on a weber.edu subdomain, and that a 2027 edition is announced — and as the demonstration that the prior year's edition is unrecoverable from the official record.

Useful Claims

  • The hackathon is hosted on hackathon.weber.edu, a Weber State University subdomain, which establishes it as an institutional event rather than a personal project.
  • A 2027 edition is announced for March 20, 2027.
  • The site's own navigation is limited to Home, About, and Contact, and at capture the About and Contact pages carried no content beyond a restatement of the site's meta description.

Reliability Notes

Self-reported tier, and thin to the point of being an artifact rather than a document. The About page's text is a truncated repetition of the site's own meta description — the signature of a template that was never filled in.

The important limitation is what the page destroys rather than what it asserts. This URL is the canonical, official, institutional source for the event, and it now describes only 2027. Every concrete detail of the April 2026 edition — the two-week remote build, the Shepherd Union finale, the $10 ticket, the $1,800 prize pool, the job fair — is absent, and no archived prior state has been resolved for it. A reader arriving here in good faith would not learn that a 2026 hackathon happened.

That makes this page's main evidentiary role negative: it is what a durable first-party source looks like when it overwrites itself, and it is the reason the 2026 record rests on the organizer's Slack announcements, which are ephemeral but far more complete.

The March 20, 2027 date should be treated as advertised, not confirmed — it is a countdown on a page with no other content, published roughly seven months ahead.
