A hackathon is an event where anyone with an interest in technology can attend to learn about technology, build a project, and share it over the course of a weekend to win prizes and more! People from all disciplines, regardless of their experience in programming, are welcome to participate. HackMerced IX will be a fully in-person event! It will take place at the University of California, Merced in spaces such as COB 1 & 2 and SSB. Workshop resources will also be shared in our Discord server. All students are eligible to participate. You do not need to attend UC Merced. Please join the HackMerced Community Discord server! If you have personal questions, feel free to open a ticket with us there. This is also where you will get more information regarding times and locations for this event.
