SLO Hacks

init() by SLO Hacks is a 12 hour introductory hackathon. Whether you've never written a line of code before or you're a veteran hacker, this is for you!
Over the course of the event, you'll learn why hackathons are gaining traction with people of all majors, build something awesome, and come out with a new skill or two (did we mention that you'll get free catered meals, snacks, and drinks all day?). 
Don't know what a hackathon is? It's a 12-36 hour event where you can build anything you want - mobile games, website designs, fintech startups - you name it.
Hackathons aren't just for advanced coders. Everyone has the opportunity to learn and build their craziest ideas. We at SLO Hacks are hosting a 12-hour, 100-student event to prepare you for our 36-hour, 500-student February event, in addition to all the other hackathons in the world! 
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We're reachable through email at team@slohacks.com, or Messenger at m.me/slohacks. 
We're excited to have a blast with you!
