Hacks Academy is a free 24-hour coding event where 100 student programmers, artists, designers, & high schoolers of other interests converge from the greater Cleveland area to build apps & games. We'll be providing beginner workshops, mentors, snacks, & places to rest. Students projects will be judged after they have a chance to demo and the best projects will win prizes.
Hacks Academy will begin at 9:00 AM on Saturday, February 29 and will end at 12:00 PM on Sunday, March 1, 2020. Learn more and sign up at https://hacks.academy.
