Calling all the APAC Hackers!

Let's countdown to 2023 together! Join at this fun & activity-filled hackathon and build new year themed hack!

Feel free to hack on whatever you'd like or make it on-theme for the fun of it. These events are open to all skill levels, from beginners to the most veteran developers. While we'd love to have you build something on the theme, our themes are only here for inspiration. Please build whatever you'd like and focus on having fun!

If you're from the NA/EU region, we'd love for you to join another one of our amazing hackathons which are more time-friendly for your region: See you later, Hackulator 2

Happy hacking!
