Hack the Nest, Nov 14-15
Dear Students,
Hack The Nest is Eastern Michigan University's first hackathon: 24 hours, Saturday November 14 at 9:00 AM through Sunday November 15 at 4:00 PM, at the EMU Student Center and Halle Library in Ypsilanti. It is student-led, free to attend, and open to students from any college and any major.

A hackathon is a weekend where students build something that solves a real problem. Teams form on site, work through the night, and present what they made to judges. It has nothing to do with breaking into systems, and no coding background is required.
You do not need to be a computer science student. We are running a hardware track alongside the software work, and the teams that do best are rarely the most technical ones. They are the teams that picked a problem worth solving and could explain who it helps and why. First-time attendees are exactly who this event is built for.
- When: Saturday Nov 14, 9:00 AM to Sunday Nov 15, 4:00 PM
