HackPrinceton is a chance to create something using code that you normally don't get the chance to do in a supportive and learning focused environment. Hacking begins at 9pm Friday November 8th, 2019 and closes 8:30am Sunday, November 10th, 2019.
At HackPrinceton, you'll meet fellow hackers, learn new technologies, and work alongside seasoned mentors. We'll have free food, swag, workshops, lecture series, mentorship, prizes, game, free food, and more. Don't have a team, or even an idea? Don't worry! We'll give you the tools to build something incredible.
Whether you’re new to coding/design/hardware or a seasoned hacker, you have a place at HackPrinceton. All we expect is a passion for learning, a willingness to collaborate with people of different backgrounds, and a desire to benefit the world with technology.
