Hertz holds fifth annual Hackathon

From everyday life to corporate boardrooms, everyone likes a good hack to solve some of life’s more perplexing problems. For the fifth year, Estero-based Hertz recently invited college students from across Florida to a 24-hour event to help the company find some real-life hack/solutions … and in the process maybe even launch their own careers.

The company recently hosted the 5th Annual Hertz Hackathon at its Estero world headquarters, tasking more than 80 students from Florida Gulf Coast University, Florida Polytechnic University, University of Central Florida and University of South Florida to pose solutions to a real-world company challenge.
