About XR Hacks

XR Hacks aims to encourage attendees to consider real world issues while constructing their projjects. Our hackathon will focus on environmental issues, and our project categories will include water conservation, energy conservation, and more.

Participants will be put into teams of 4 and will decide on a question they want to tackle using a project. They will then spend the next ~1 week coding the project and creating a presentation which will be shown to the judges. They will have the opportunity to submit it into several hackathon categories which will be announced after School in person on Friday.

Create something amazing

Competitors don't need to have any prior coding experience in order to participate. The hackathon is a great learning and networking opportunity.
