Hi All,


This is a reminder that this weekend the Computing Science Student Society is hosting our annual 24 hour Mountain Madness Hackathon this weekend! Attendance is free!


What is a hackathon?

A hackathon is an event where teams of people come together to work on a shared project inspired by an event-provided theme. Mountain Madness will have 24 hours of development time allotted, during which teams will start from scratch and try to make the coolest thing they can before the time is up.

CSSS Mountain Madness Hackathon Information

posted by Mitchell Gale on Feb. 2, 2021, 12:05 a.m.

Hi all,

The Computing Science Student Society (CSSS) will be hosting our annual 24-hour "Mountain Madness" (Virtual) hackathon on February 13th and 14th!

Sign-up and attendance is free!

Whether this will be your first time attending a hackathon or your third, this is a great opportunity because it is completely free! Sign-up athttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/mountain-madness-2021-tickets-139106494269?aff=email

If you are attending StormHacks hackathon the two events are on different weekends making them not conflict.

Throughout the event we will be giving out $10 gift cards to Uber Eats and Skip the Dishes to random people participating in the hackathon!

Everyone is welcome to attend. This event has no restrictions on programming level and is a great opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills!

Hackathon projects are a great addition for your resume where you get to show your ability outside of course work.

The event is from 10:00am Saturday February 13thto 10:30am Sunday February 14th PST, a more detailed schedule can be found on our websitehttps://sfucsss.org/events/mountain_madness2021

You can work in teams of up to 5, or work individually. If you have friends who are not at SFU you can still work with them, however your group should be a majority of SFU students. So if your group of 5 has 2 people not from SFU that is allowed! 

Information about the prizes and more detailed information about the event can be found on our websitehttps://sfucsss.org/events/mountain_madness2021

Many of the submissions from our Fall Hacks 2020 hackathon can be found on our website toohttps://sfucsss.org/events/fall_hacks_submissions2020. Hopefully they can give you some ideas of what projects can be made.


If you want to find a group, visit our discord https://discord.gg/PdZHqvK64t and go to the #team_forming_mountain_madness channel to try and find other groups. We will also try and help people find groups the day of the event, so if you don't have a group, don't worry we can help you find one!


Please let me know if you have any questions!


Thanks,
