About the challenge

Note: You MUST register via the {eHacks} website (link here) to participate. Simply registering on DevPost does not mean you are registered for {eHacks}.

eHacks is Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's annual hackathon, making our return from pre-pandemic. It is a 36-hour, weekend long event where participants come together to create innovative projects. eHacks provides a great opportunity for students to learn new skills, network with other students, and have fun! This year, eHacks will take place March 3-5. It will be a fully in person event that will take place at the T-Rex innovation center in St. Louis, MO.
