This year at UGAHacks, we are all about helping your ideas blast off. Hackathons are all about exploring the galaxies filled with ideas and claiming one for yourself. You might even explore multiple planets before settling on one or use one as a base station to reach other ones. Log on and join us for this epic 36 hour programming sleepover, hosted at UGA's Zell B. Miller Learning Center.
Houston -- we got a problem! Fret not, we have mentors, workshops, and volunteers to help you get those critical resources so you can venture forth. Two resources you'll not need to worry about is food and water as plenty of shipments will be sent out throughout the event.
