About this event

Hi all,

Once a month we hold a "mini-hackathon" where we code from 10 AM to about 4:00 PM at which point we do a little show-and-tell where you are welcome to demo what you did that day (totally optional). It is a loosely structured event where we break off into groups and you can work on your own project, or hop into someone else's!

We are going to be back in the Central Library at the InceptionU space. It is the yellow door on the third floor, in the SE corner. You have to ring the bell.

Please bring project ideas, or come ready to code and hop into someone else's project, whatever you prefer. If you are able to bring a laptop, that is ideal. If not, there are Chromebooks for rent from the library.

If you have a project you'd like to work on, leave a comment! The idea, the stack (technologies) you're planning to use and any relevant links are a good place to start!

As usual, most of us are not experts in what we're working on, the goal is to get together and learn as a group.

Participation in previous events is never a requirement.
