Introduction

Hello and welcome to ACMHacks 2024!

ACMHacks is a weekend-long hackathon where students from UCSC and various other institutions come together to collaborate on software projects. This year, the event returns in-person at UCSC’s campus in October. Throughout the weekend, participants will immerse themselves in building, learning, and creating technology from the ground up. Whether it’s websites, mobile apps, or any other innovative tech project, the possibilities are endless! Alongside the hands-on hacking experience, we’ll be hosting workshops and social events, offering participants the chance to explore new topics, enhance their skills, and connect with like-minded peers.
