Hackathon is this weekend!!

I hope you are excited! I have great news!

Verizon just became the official sponsor for the hackathon. There are a lot of perks to this. For one, as a participant, you can put that you participated in the Verizon/ UF AI hackathon on your resume.  This will look especially attractive to recruiters, especially from Verizon.
