Welcome to LaunchHacks, a hackathon where students and fellow programmers can showcase their skills and expertise in this 2-day hackathon.

**DISCLAIMER** We have to postpone the date for the hackathon due to some issues with some of our sponsors and some conflicts with some of our judges. We moved it back one week so that we have time to work everything out. Prizes will be posted soon and! **DISCLAIMER**

Join us to create any project demonstrating your expertise in programming.

Participants are allowed to work in a team (up to 3 members) or individually to create a project relevent to programming or code.

The closing ceremony and winner announcements will take place on June 5th at 6:15 PM PST. We will not be accepting any late submissions (no exceptions!), so be sure to manage your time well.
