HackMerced is a 36-hour annual programming competition that occurs at the University of California, Merced, and is open to students from all over the world. During the event, participants will collaborate in teams and attend workshops to learn about new technologies.
We aim to create a collaborative, interdisciplinary event that brings together students from all universities and prospective sponsors to see the innovation and creativity culminating within the San Joaquin Valley.
