HuskiesHack 2020 - "Help Community 'Connect'"
HuskiesHack welcomes students from all majors— a 24-hour event where you can create, collaborate, and compete to make something amazing!
Our hackathon is centered around the theme - "Connect". We connect with people, technology, organization all the time, yet we feel so disconnected. Help us build connections and create an app, website or software solution that would help the community connect better.
