What is HogHacks?

HogHacks is a hack-a-thon hosted by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) at the University of Arkansas. It's an overnight software engineering competition that takes place every semester.

All students are welcome to take part regardless of school, education level, or major. All majors and backgrounds are welcome! Students have a chance to use their skills to create a collaborative project within 24 hours.

Teams compete to develop a working prototype to present in front of a panel of judges. Judges from different technical backgrounds are sourced from different companies across NWA.
