The event usually lasts 24 hours (1 day) or several days. Members of a team work on a project for the whole time, and optionally present it at the end. You can work on whatever project you like, and choose any technologies to work with!<\/p>\n<p>Participating in a hackathon provides an ENORMOUS amount of benefits. You learn more in a short amount of time than you\u2019d learn in the span of several months. You can go above and beyond your comfort zone to create exciting projects in an intensive environment. You get to polish and test your skills and take the challenge to compete with other people. You get to meet new people, including our external sponsors, who may be your potential employers. You can add a shining point in your resume when you hunt for jobs. If you\u2019d like to participate, please fill out the survey to help us organize a hackathon that is tailored to your tastes.<\/p>\n<p>If have any further questions, feel free to contact:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dawei Li | Faculty Advisor of Computer Club<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:dawei.li@montclair.edu\">dawei.li@montclair.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rami Alhussein | Vice President of Computer Club<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:alhusseinr1@montclair.edu\">alhusseinr1@montclair.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sammy Samkough | Project Manager of Computer Club<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:samkoughs1@montclair.edu\">samkoughs1@montclair.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are organizing our own Hackathon at Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß this Spring, and your participation is greatly welcomed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":206099,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-206098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-computer-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/school-of-computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
