We believe that you learn best by doing.
That's why we're launching a hackathon - to empower the next generation to learn and refine real world skills through team-building and tangible product creation.
ModHacks is a 48-hour competition for you to learn through creation. At the end, you'll get to pitch your product, whether entirely new or a continuation of a previous idea, to a panel of judges, for cash and prizes.
