"WHACK was the first hackathon I ever attended, and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The mentors were supportive and encouraging. People were working on fun projects, and everyone I spoke to seemed so happy to be there. I met awesome people and had a great time learning and creating."

"I think hackathons have been a major way that I have developed my rapid prototyping skills as well as my resume. I've definitely had recruiters ask about some hackathon projects. WHACK is an awesome starting point to try a hackathon, there are awesome mentorship and resources for you to experiment and hack."

"I loved WHACK because I had the chance to work with students who had strengths in different aspects of programming. One of our teammates had experience with building databases, another teammate wanted to work on the front-end, and I enjoyed working with APIs. We were able to split up the work based on strengths, and we learned a lot from each other when we came together at the end to combine our different parts."
