MinneHack Registration is Open!!

We at ACM UMN are already hard at work getting ready for MinneHack 2020 and we are pleased to announce that registration for MinneHack 2020 is finally open! If you have never heard of MinneHack before, MinneHack is a 24 hour hackathon where you get together in teams of up to 4 people and hack together a solution to a provided prompt in less than a day. We haven't picked out the prizes yet, but we do know that they will be pretty awesome (c:). And like all of our other events, its free!
