About This Event

The moment you've all been waiting for... Our flagship MACATHON is here and you're invited to put your hacking skills to the test!

In this 48 hour challenge you'll work in teams of 2-4 to create a project solving a problem (theme TBA). Whether you're a seasoned hacker or this is your first hackathon, this is a golden opportunity to spice up your resume and win some exciting prizes!!

We'll be kicking things off with an Opening Ceremony, where you can indulge in some delicious food to fuel up for the upcoming coding, and wrapping things up with a Closing Ceremony where you can celebrate and connect with our sponsors.

Band together with your friends or find a team on the MAC Discord: https://discord.gg/qPM3n8VzH. Join the server for all updates and to ask any questions.
