Requirements
What to Build
Any CS-related project of your chosing.
What to Submit
Create a video that encapsulates the things that you are building and submit that alongside a working code repository. Please try to include version history if you use a platform such as GitHub, as that will make it easier for us to authenticate that the code is written by you.
*Remember your project has to have been created from April 7th 4:30pm PST to April 9th 4:30pm PST. Cross submissions are allowed to this hackathon but the project should be built within these dates.
