WesHack is Wesleyan’s first hackathon in half a decade! Join us April 23-25 for a weekend chock full of coding, workshops, free stickers, and, most importantly, fun! NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED, hackers of all levels encouraged, especially beginners! Whether you write algorithms in your sleep or you’re just excited to create your first website, we can’t wait for you to come code with us!
The theme for WesHack 2021 is "Building Wes Through Code!" We want you to create something to help the Wesleyan community! Think of all the things that bug you, and build something to fix them! You could create the next SpotCheck or OurCampus! You are free to build something outside of the theme, and we’ll be releasing a document of basic project ideas for those who want a little guidance.
