About HackCC

HackCC is a 250-person, 14-hour hackathon hosted at MiraCosta College, Oceanside, California. This event aims to expose college students to the technology industry and provide the necessary resources to get hands-on experience in coding. Whether you are a first-time coder or a seasoned hacker, we encourage you to enter HackCC with enthusiasm and curiosity.
