Hackathons need web developers,
interface designers, business minds, and
more in order to be successful. Have a
great idea, but not sure how to
implement it? Come share it with us!
Good at making things look pretty, or
down right awesome, come lend your
design eye on a project with us! Can you
write some mean code in some programming
language? Great, come share it! Know of
an API available on campus that we can
use? Great, let us know!</span></div>
