What is a Hackathon?

Sounds scary, right? Don’t worry, it’s not that type of hacking.

A hackathon is an event where a group of technically-skilled people come together to accomplish a common IT goal. At the Rochester Hackathon we will create websites for local non-profit organizations over the course of one day.

Do you have a Western New York non-profit that needs a website?
Click “Non-Profits” below for more information on our requirements for participation and to apply.

Are you technically savvy? Do you have WordPress experience? We need you!
