HACK.COMS is a 24-hour hackathon hosted by the Computing Organization for Multicultural Students (COMS) at RIT. COMS is committed to building a supportive community that celebrates the talent of underrepresented students in computing.
A hackathon is a collaborative event where developers, designers, and tech enthusiasts come together to create a project within a limited time frame, typically ranging from a few hours to a few days. The focus is on creativity, innovation, and teamwork, and the result is a functional project that is often shared and utilized in the community.
Gather with like-minded developers, from beginners to enthusiasts, as you work together to create something incredible in just one day! We'll have an incredible time this year! We've leveled up the experience with new food vendors, live performances, technical workshops, and new categories!
Get ready for a fun-filled experience that welcomes everyone! Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, our hackathon is the perfect opportunity to showcase your skills, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and have a great time!
