hackAISES: Mini-Hackathon - Sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank

October 9, 2019: Noon - 6:00 PM
Location: 101 B
Target Audience: Pre-College Students

The hackAISES event will be held on Wednesday, October 9th during the pre-conference events at the AISES National Conference. Crash courses in coding basics, team building, APIs, and other relevant information will be projected during the hackathon to potentially introduce students to new concepts. Mentors will be available to help students troubleshoot issues and answer questions. At the end of the hackathon, a wrap-up session will give each team a chance to present and demonstrate their accomplishments as well as award some awesome prizes! Food and beverages will be provided!

If you ever had a great app idea but didn't know where to go from there, hackAISES is for you! You can create anything from scratch (or if you already started working on something feel free to bring it, as long as you are okay showing it to others) 

Curious but have no experience building an app? This is a great place to learn the basics from others. We will have mentors on site to guide you if you have questions or need help. We are seeking enthusiastic students who are curious about tech. This is a place to have fun, enjoy tech, learn something, and maybe even win a prize!
