Have an app idea or need an app built?
AT&T Mobile App Hackathon - Notre Dame is an event produced by the AT&T Developer Program and Four Horsemen Society that is designed for attendees (technical & non-technical) to build apps/mobile apps, get fed, compete for prizes across different categories and most importantly: meet new people and scout for teammates to work on new or current projects. Our hackathon will introduce you to the latest cutting edge tools to help deploy your own app with a website backend, fully hosted in the cloud.
