HackDay is a two day event in Hanover, NH hosted at Dartmouth College to inspire and educated aspiring programmers. We welcome all skill levels to compete in making new, innovative projects that make life easier or just more interesting.

HackDay aims to be an educational experience for developers of all skill levels. Starting Friday, we're kicking off with a workshop to get new coders up to speed on website development in HTML/CSS.

Saturday, teams will be able to work on any new project for a chance to win awesome prizes and much respect. We're hoping to make HackDay about learning new skills and improving coding abilities, so all experience levels are invited! Come join us for two days of fun, food, and friends.
