Hack From The Past

Knock, Knock! It's a blast from the past! Set up your workstations for a fun decade-themed hackathon. Are you a fan of the 80s or is the 60s more your vibe? Whichever decade you love, we invite you to solve a problem from the past and hack an interesting solution for it. Or make something you think is totally groovy!💃 What's more? We'll be running mini-events, workshops, and more to keep you entertained.While we'd love to have you build something on the theme, our themes are only here for inspiration. Please build whatever you'd like and focus on having fun!
