The City of Cupertino has decided to postpone hack Cupertino following recommendations from the County of Santa Clara’s Public Health Department regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus). We look forward to bringing hack Cupertino back in the near future. For a full list of City impacts, visit cupertino.org/coronavirus.

Event Overview:

<hack> Cupertino is a 13-hour overnight hackathon organized by Cupertino's Teen Commission and Cupertino's Recreation Department.  During our opening ceremony, we will present a problem which you and your team will work together to address. 

Please note that this even this is a lock-in, if you leave the premises at any point in the evening you will not be allowed back in.

What makes this hackathon unique (besides prizes, of course!)?
