hackNSBE is an intense and rewarding programming experience sponsored by Sledgehammer Games. Teams of 2-5 will create a game, app, website, or other technical product with the theme "Conquering 2020." 2020 has been an exceptional year, in which everyone has been involved with or impacted by a range of issues including: COVID-19, quarantine isolation, BLM protests, election issues, and many other crucially important current events. Let the theme inspire your team to build on a creative idea based on current events with the support of Sledgehammer Games engineers and provided APIs and SPKs. Enter for the chance to win incredible prizes, including AirPods Pros, an Xbox Series X, and more!
