All about hackathon

[vinzvinci]

I know some of you want to experience hackathon. And it's hard to find a team, so I make a discussion for all of you :)

Feel free to drop your details and maybe someone want to team up with you.

Examples:

• Hackathon details (optional, only when you have suggestion)
• Your skills
• Experience

Have zero experience? that will be okay, all of us starts with zero, so drop your details except personal information :)

Second option: Go to hackathon event, look for the team and make new friends.
