About This Event

We are hosting a Hackathon to bring together talented thinkers and coders to collaborate in small groups and create programs within 18 hours.

What will happen:

At the event participants will break into various small groups and decide on an idea to program. From mobile app, website application, desktop application, or games. From using APIs to prebuilt frameworks, everything is up for grabs, the limit is your imagination.

Why will this event rock?

The event is structured to be exhilarating and ‘sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat’ exciting and thus bring buzz and fun to the attendees.

You get to code, network, and have a blast! Think of your resume and the experience this could be for you!

When: December 3rd (6pm) – December 4th (Noon)

Where: UW-Whitewater in Hyland Hall Atrium

University of Wisconsin Whitewater is hosting a ‘Hack-a-thon’ where students and members of the extended community come together to ‘hack’ together code within 18 hours to create a functional product. Projects will be created and picked by the attendees. Teams will be formed in which attendees plan, collaborate, and create a product together. The event is structured to be exhilarating and ‘sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat’ exciting and thus bring buzz and fun to the attendees.
