Code for Good!
HackDuke is about collaboration, not competition. We aim to be not just a place about building meaningful projects, but also an open forum to discuss, share and bring to life ideas that aim to make a positive impact on social issues. Look forward to working and coding alongside mentors from tech and for-impact companies!
