Good morning,

Here are the details on the FB Hackathon.  Caity Hipskind, from FB, would
like to see 2-3 teams of 4 students from UIC.

I received 3 names from Professor Eriksson and have forwarded those students
the registration link below.

Do you have any other strong referrals for savvy programmers who would work
together as a team for 
this competition?   I think they would like us to 
hand pick these teams- if possible.

Feel free to forward the information below or send me their names
(undergraduate or graduate students).

Thank you

Kate

You've been to our Campus Hackathons, now join us 
for our first ever Chicago Regional Hackathon, 
hosted at UIUC! At Facebook, we believe that 
every engineer has great ideas within them. 
Hackathons are 24-hours of collaborative computer 
programming that provide an opportunity for you 
to bring your product from an idea to a prototype overnight. ...

Hackathons are often the birthplace of new 
products such as the social calendar, chat, and 
HipHop for PHP. Join the Facebook team as we stay 
up all night hacking and having a good time. 
We'll supply the food, fun diversions, prizes 
every hour on the hour, and some professional 
guidance. You bring your laptop, appetite, skills 
and ideas. Start brainstorming ideas & forming 
teams. If you don't have a team on the day of, 
we'll help you find one. We'll see you there. The 
winning team will get the chance to defend their 
title and compete against other winning teams 
from our worldwide Hackathons at the Hackathon 
Finals- held at FBHQ in November. Get ready to 
hack like a champion! *Note: You must be 
currently enrolled in a University to attend.
