It’s never too early to get a jump on learning the top skills in the tech industry. Even middle school, high school and young students from all walks of life are getting in the game, taking interest in the coding and critical thinking skills required to develop exceptional applications and technological breakthroughs.
One of the best places coders can garner skills that will separate them from the pack are hackathons. If you're unfamiliar, hackathons are coding events typically held overnight where participants of all skill levels can become immersed in development, teamwork, workshopping and much more.
Hackathons provide an excellent way to find a community of like-minded individuals who are serious about their ability to innovate. Check out these three upcoming hackathons in Fremont and get ready to kickoff a thrilling career.
