DESCRIPTION:Almost all university students own smartphones and bring them t
 o class (Pew Research Center\, 2021\; & Bohlander\, 2012). Yet smartphone 
 use is linked to poorer academic and socioemotional outcomes (Boumosleh & 
 Jaalouk\, 2017\; Demirci et al.\, 2015). In classroom settings\, simply ha
 ving a smartphone out predicts lower course comprehension and higher anxie
 ty (Huey & Giguere\, 2022). More recent work suggests that students learn 
 best when guidelines are placed on smartphone use\, and phones are used to
  facilitate learning (Deng et al.\, 2025). The co-authors of this proposal
  have conducted multiple studies on technology use and students’ academi
 c\, socio-emotional\, and character development. Importantly\, we have obs
 erved a) students perform better and are more engaged in classes where tec
 hnology is banned\, but b) students perceive technology has benefits\, and
  these benefits outweigh the downsides of technology use. This hackathon s
 eeks to discuss technology (particularly smartphones) and generate 3 guide
 lines for psychology classes.
