Welcome to JACHacks!
John Abbott College Computer Science Department is excited to organize our first ever hackathon. This 24 hour in-person overnight hackathon will include many challenge and exciting prizes.
Students will work in teams up to 4 to develop a project over 24 hours. Mentors will be available to hackers for any questions you may have, and to get beginners off the ground. By the end of the event, all teams will demo their hacks, and winners will be chosen by our judges.
