What is YHack?
YHack is Yale’s flagship hackathon, bringing together 600+ college builders for 24 hours of weekend hacking. Participants will have access to hands-on hardware, technical workshops, recruiting events with leading tech companies, and a Red Bull–sponsored party during the weekend. We hope to see you there!
