*PickHacks* <https://pickhacks.io/>, the annual hackathon at Missouri S&T,
is back! From *April 3rd through 5th*, you can connect and create with
over 500 of the brightest student developers, engineers, and designers from
around the Midwest. You'll be working in teams of up to 4 people to build
solutions surrounding this year's theme: entertainment. We've got *$15,000+
in prizes* for all skill levels, over *20 sponsors* looking to recruit
people like you, and *endless workshops* to learn from. No experience is
necessary!

Last year's attendees built everything
<https://pickhacks.devpost.com/submissions> from mobile apps to wearable
devices to LEGO robots — what will you build?

Send in your application and learn more information at our website:

Also, we'll be sending a bus to Chicago, so there's no need to worry about
how you'll get here!

*Hack the Interview*, a coding contest built specifically for university
students looking for jobs and internships.

High-scoring participants in the contest may be considered for open and
future roles with our partner companies. Students can also win prizes worth
up to $1,000. For those who already have a position secured for this
summer, this contest is a great way to brush up on skills and get a head
start for next year.
