About City Hacks

City Hacks is a weekend-long event where students from around the world and around the Los Rios Community College district come together to hack together some cool software projects. Our last hackathon saw around 1,000 participatnts and we hope to continue to bring together motivated and curious students to hack and learn together. Due to Covid-19 City hacks will be held online, allowing people from all over to come and hack with us. Typically projects are web and mobile apps but you can make whatever you want such as cool command line games, video games or ML/AI.
