Occaisonally we have hackathons! This is a list of former and upcoming hackathons we've had. These can be either formal sponsored events or other types of less formal hackathons.

[edit] Instructables Summer Makerspace Contest

In the summer of 2016 we participated in the Instructables Makerspace Contest: http://www.instructables.com/contest/Makerspace/ This was a team-event to make the most instructables and most featured instructables. Various prizes were available depending on how successful a team was.

• We won the section for "10 Featured Instructables" along with other spaces.
  • Prizes included T-shirts for 5 members of our team and stickers
  • We won a $200 gift code for Makeblock (maker oriented robotic kits) and a $50 gift code for 3D Hubs (a 3D printing service)
  • We bought this Mini XY Laser Engraver using our Makeblock gift code!
