PacHacks is a 14-hour, student-run hackathon held at 42 Silicon Valley in Fremont, CA. High schoolers attending this event will be able to develop their programming skills and bring their ideas to life. This event is aimed at all students - from novice hackers to the most experienced ones, and we will have workshops and mentors available to assist hackers in creating the project of their dreams.
