We've rescheduled the hack day to accommodate for the fact that many people are still returning from vacation. It will now be Thursday, Jan 14 from 11 am - 4 pm in Marlar Lounge 37-252.
This is the perfect time to work on a small project that you've been meaning to get to, or to learn new coding tools and tricks!
Nothing says "hacking" like throwing together a last minute group coding session! Inspired by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Hack Day, taking place as part of their annual winter meeting, Code Coffee will host a hack day at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. What is a hack day, you ask? It's about getting together to write code or work on some other project, *fast*. It could be for science or just for fun! You don't need to bring an idea to participate, and a range of expertise is appreciated (be it C++, python, php, or web design). So grab a friend and come to Marlar for some snacks and coding!
Maximum: 40 people
To attend, please sign up (by 3pm Jan 13) using the Google form
