We are super excited to host our second Bull Hacks! Our one last year was super successful, with fifteen teams, and over two thousand dollars given out in prizes, so we are just trying to expand it even further this year! To register, the best way is to go to bullhacks.org, and to register from there. Bull Hacks is a twelve hour hackathon, where we'll announce the theme at the beginning of the day and then let people code until twelve!
