Dear SWEethearts,

Please read below from a fellow UMBC student. If interested, please contact Chantal...

I want to start a hackathon (computer competition) at Towson University or somewhere close by, since I believe there are no hackathons at that university yet.

There are no computer science organizations at Towson University, yet there are some Towson students who go to hackathons at UMBC, JHU, etc.

I've been trying to figure out how to make the hackathon seem attractive to students (ex. possible themes and sub-competitions within the hackathon). But I realized that all of this brainstorming would be easier if I have a team of dedicated and motivated people who are interested in helping out. 

It'd be awesome if tech-enthusiasts, business-minded people, artists, and event planners create a unique event not just for Towson students, but for other students within the area and enjoy Towson!

If you or someone you know is interested in starting a hackathon, please contact Chantal Tan (mtan1@umbc.edu).
