ZotHacks 2021 is Hack at UCI’s fourth mini-hackathon geared towards beginners taking place on November 20th at Donald Bren Hall!

At this event, hackers will experience an introduction to hackathons and software development techniques applied to web-based projects. The event is free to attend. Technical workshops and prizes will be provided! Unfortunately, due to space constraints, ZotHacks is limited to ONLY UCI students who attend the event in-person.

Hacking begins Saturday morning at 11 AM and ends the same day at 11 PM. All submissions MUST be made here on Devpost.

$445 in prizes

• Technology
  How technically impressive was the hack? Was thought put into the technologies — libraries, tools, etc. — used to build the project?
• Quality
  Is the project a good piece of software? Is the code relatively efficient and organized in a way that makes it easy for others to understand?
• Purpose
  Does the project try to solve a problem? Tackling a problem with a realistic solution is what gives meaning to a project. Submissions should clearly articulate the problem and demonstrate how their solution can create a beneficial impact.
• Growth
  Did your team learn while making the project? ZotHacks is about learning something new and applying that knowledge to a practical project. Projects scoring high in Growth should be bold in their experimentation and usage of new tools.
