About the challenge

ACMHacks is a hackathon organized by ACM at UCSC. During this event, students will come together to create projects based on our theme of Unity. Unity not only represents harmony but also embraces diversity in bringing together various aspects into a cohesive piece. Thus, we challenge hackers to incorporate various aspects of computer science and different technologies in their projects. During the hackathon, along with project building, we will host workshops and social events for hackers to explore new topics and build relationships with their peers. 

Our team has put a lot of effort and time into making this event wonderful and we are pumped to see ALL OF YOU this year! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at acmhacks@gmail.com
