What is WayneHacks?

WayneHacks is a free 48-hour hackathon, hosted by the Society of Computer Developers at WayneState University, that will take place virtually from March 3-5.    Hackers will have 48 hours to complete a project related to the theme given at the opening ceremony. Workshops and 2 gaming tournaments will also take place during the event!    $5000 in Prizes will be given out at the end of the weekend to the top 3 hacks and all hackers who submit a hack will be entered into a raffle for any leftover prizes! Prizes will also be given out to the winners of the game tournaments. Last year, the team with the top hack won an Oculus Rift!
