about this event
About the challenge: CRC Hacks is a virtual hackathon hosted by the Programming & Coders Club, where students build projects powered by APIs and AI. From November 9 to November 17, teams will connect real-world APIs with AI tools to solve a problem they care about — whether that's a study helper, a community resource finder, an accessibility tool, or something no one has thought of yet.
You don't need to be an expert. Beginners are welcome, and the best projects often come from a clear problem and a simple, working idea. Judges will reward projects that solve a real problem, use APIs and AI thoughtfully, and show a working demo.
Get started: 1) Register on this page by clicking "Join hackathon." 2) Find a team of up to 4 people, or work solo. Use club Discord to meet other participants. 3) Pick a problem and choose the APIs and AI tools you'll use. See the Resources tab for ideas. 4) Build between November 9 and November 17. 5) Submit your project on Devpost before 5:00 pm PT on November 17.
