USM’s 13Hacks
The first ever Hackathon and Buildathon hosted by a Sikh Student group!
Registration for 13Hacks includes invaluable mentorship opportunities, coaching and workshops from industry leaders, and lifelong professional connections.
We will connect students and recent alumni to seasoned professionals to help guide you to create your perfect project, and maybe even continue building beyond the hackathon!
Open to all majors, with no coding or technical expertise required!
13Hacks will provide food and refreshments for the duration of the event, along with prizes (to be announced) for each track.
Note: We will not be covering accommodations for participants traveling to Berkeley, but are happy to help coordinate hotel bookings through our group rates.
