CU Coin-orado Hackathon this weekend (~$5k in prizes and $30 for participating) #19

Open ianks opened 9 years ago

ianks commented 9 years ago

So this weekend there is a hackathon that a few of us at CU have organized (huge thanks @dawsonbotsford et. al :wink:)

I expect the turnout to be reasonably small for a hackathon, which means that prize/person ratio is quite high. We are encouraging all types of people to attend (not exclusively CS majors), so anyone with any amount of computer skills will be highly valued. On that note, I actually plan on using Node and D3 for my project, so skills from this class will be very relevant.

For anyone that has never attended a hackathon before, don't feel too pressured about 'finishing' something or anything silly like that. It's mainly a chance put some time aside to make the most minimal viable product you can come up with and collaborate on ideas.

Should be a fun time. Food, drinks, etc will all be provided. Hope to see some of you guys/gals there and maybe we can team up!

EDIT: Fixed link.

Hey,

The link is broken, FYI. Also, when is it this weekend? I may be able to come do a little hacking, but it depends on the timing.

Haha @wannabeCitizen I won't be staying 24 hours either. So no, not mandatory at all. Just allowed.
