McHacks

Welcome to McHacks 10! 👋

We’re so glad you could make it.

Our live site is divided into three pages:

Check out the events, workshops, and activities happening this weekend under Schedule.
Get access to our sponsors’ APIs and resources available for you to use during McHacks under Sponsor Resources.
Learn the ins and outs of Discord with our comprehensive Discord Guide.

Make sure to join the McHacks 10 Discord server for announcements, event Zoom links, to chat with other hackers, and to form teams. It’s important for all hackers to be in the Discord as it is the main form of communication between hackers, judges, sponsors, and organizers during McHacks.

Check out the McHacks 9 Devpost for information on judging and prizes and to submit your team’s hack.

Feel free to get in touch with an organizer on Discord if you have any questions or concerns! To reach us, you can DM any organizer with the green Organizer role, or post in #troubleshooting or #ask-organizers for help.

Happy hacking,
McHacks Team
