Hack & Tell is a hackathon that is actually a hackathon. There is no need for business models, customer validation, or extravagant pitches. The purpose of this hackathon is to hang out and team up with other developers and designers for the sake of making something. There will be time at the end of the event where you are free to show and tell everyone about the awesome thing that you built. You can build something for yourself or build something for other people. You can build something useful or build something not useful at all. The choice is all yours. All we want is for you to take this time and build something you've always wanted to build. You didn't even need to have any ideas of your own. There will be plenty of developers and ideas floating around that you can hack with. So are you going to come make cool things with us? Join other developers and designers for 8 hours of fun on Saturday, April 8th starting at 9am. For more info, go to http://www.rokkincat.com/hack-n-tell
