VRathon 2
Everybody Wins!
Welcome to your future. Hackathons are likely the best way learn and make friends with like minded VR people. All skill levels are welcome.
We've taken our wealth of hackathon experience to design the most meaningful journey ever.
This event will give you the basic skills as well as instructions for publishing your hack online. Teams will have an entire week (and additional VR resources) to work on their hack. All projects get submitted (and judged) online. There are over 100 lbs in prizes including cash (paypal). Teams will be able to demo at VRminiConf 3 - 7/27 7:30p (not yet announced)
