QuackHacks is a brand new virtual hackathon that caters towards first and second year students who have yet to explore the hackathon world. We guide you through one of your first hackathons, helping you form a team, brainstorm winning ideas, build a product, as well as write and present your project to the judges! Each team is paired up with a mentor who will help you before, during, and after the hackathon. Along with your mentor, our education team has exciting workshops planned throughout the night to help you win a hackathon!
