ST@B and CSUA are hosting Hackathon at Wozniak Lounge, UC Berkeley. Looks like a pretty crazy event, 18 hours straight? Who knows, there could be some cool projects as a result. Nevertheless, it’ll probably be a great event to find people who are passionate and dedicated about what they’re doing. I’m not going to code, but I’ll probably stop by to see what’s up.

The Hackathon is a group project coding competition. Projects can be about anything, but all the work must take place during the competition period, which starts on Friday evening and ends Saturday at noon. At the end of the competition, groups will present what they’ve done to a panel of industry and professor judges who will be allowed to ask questions about the projects. The judges will make their decisions based on how well the projects embody the “hacker ethos”, which is meant to be interpretted broad

Oh yea, as a bonus, they’re handing out 4x Wii’s.
