HackDay is a 12-hour learning-based, beginner focused event. It’s a great way to get a taste of our traditional 24-hour hackathon, as well as gain new skills as a beginner developer! We’re dividing the prizes into beginner and intermediate levels, so everyone has a chance to win something! We’re also excited to announce our partnership this year with the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship. They’ll be bringing mentors and prizes (Amazon Alexa Grant!) and are just as stoked to innovate, learn, and create with you!
