This hackathon is the perfect opportunity for students interested in CS (of any level) to network with other college and high school students across the globe, participate in workshops (in AR/VR, AI, and web/app development), receive personalized mentoring for projects, earn prizes worth over $1000, and ask questions to successful tech figures such as Github Co-founder Tom Preston-Werner, Repl.it CEO Amjad Masad and Stanford University Professor Ge Wang. This is the perfect chance for students to apply what they learn in class.
