| There's a hacking competition being held in Atlanta for college students (maybe High School) that sounds like a lot of fun. They need sponsors and to get the word out there to any students that would like to participate. The second annual H3 Hacking Competition will be held Saturday, August 27th 2011 at the GTRI Conference Center. This year's event coordinators decided to open it up to all students - all you need is your Student ID! More details are coming soon! In the meantime, to get the most up to date information please join our mailing list. Our mailing list is here: sympa@lists.gatech.edu http://www.hungryhungryhackers.org/events.html# They're looking for sponsors and any kind of novel contribution you have to make. This is a great initiative that teaches people with no experience in hacking what it is all about and gives those with experience the chance to show their stuff in a safe environment. There are several "flags" that can be compromised in the competition. The first one to capture them all wins. There are great prizes, of course, but the real prize is creating this community IMO. This is an event that will be held annually and may bring as many as 100 students this year from all over the South Eastern United States to Atlanta. If you want to be a part of it in any capacity, please contact hungryhungryhackers@gtri.gatech.edu What are your thoughts on this event? Is this good for aspiring developers looking for job placement? Would security firms be interested in this type of event? |
