About the challenge

Google Developer Students' Club at the University of Alberta is back with another exciting event!

Whether it's front end or back end development, we hope this prompt will make your gears turn and truly test your abilities. Projects would be judged on creativity, technical skills and project presentation. Please adhere to the university's IT policy throughout the hackathon.

Best of Luck!
