TrojanHacks: Strikes Back is a beginner-friendly, 24-hour hackathon open to all USC students! Many students have never been to a hackathon and feel like they don't have enough experience or skills to contribute to their team. We want to change this mentality. USC ACM wants to show you that you can go from little to no experience to making something you're proud of - you just need to put your mind to it!
