About the challenge
TritonHacks is a fully student-run event at UCSD hosted by CS foreach that aims to provide access to CS education to disadvantaged local communities. We offer a welcoming, project-based environment for high school students to explore new interests in technology with teammates and a collection of resources such as starter kits, workshops, and individual mentorship programs. For anyone interested in competing, we are currently planning to hold TritonHacks in-person at UCSD from May 18th-19th, 2024.
