The 5CHackathon is the official hackathon of the Claremont Colleges. Instead of making hackathons a competitive experience, we make ours one that emphasizes learning and having fun. Teams begin working on their project on Friday night and have until Saturday morning at 7:30am to finish. All final submissions must be made here, on ChallengePost, before the end of hacking. Videos are optional.

Eligibility

If you attended and hacked at the 5CHackathon, then you are eligible to make a submission. 

Requirements

Make your product, submit your hack to DevPost and attend the 5CHackathon final ceremony to show everyone what you built!
