Information Hackathon is being hosted at UW-Whitewater. Students and members of the extended community come together to ‘hack’ together code within 24 hours to create a functional product. Projects will be created and picked by the attendees. Teams will be formed in which attendees plan, collaborate, and create a product together. The event is structured to be exhilarating and ‘sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat’ exciting and thus bring buzz and fun to the attendees. Day of Hackathon - Event
