About hackIMSA
Newegg's hackIMSA organized by IMSA code society is an opportunity for highscoolers around the state of Illinois to showcase their coding knowledge in a fun-filled 48 hour competition in a team of up to five, or individually. Students can submit any project to fit a theme of their choice (choices released soon) as long as they begin and end work in the allocated 48 hour time period. Once the 48 hours are up, the top five teams will move onto the final round where they will give a live presentation to compete for a share of a $5000 from our gracious sponsor Newegg!

What to Build

Then, after 48 hours are up, turn that solution into us, and get excited for the hackIMSA finals!
