2017 Cal VR Hackathon

Cal VRathon is a Coding and Graphic Design Competition that aims to bring together the brightest minds from UC Berkeley, Stanford and many other Bay Area schools. With the goal to generate new ideas for virtual reality in the educational space and give students an overall immersive experience, we will be kicking off this hackathon event with a speaker panel featuring experts in the industry from companies including Google, Facebook Oculus, and HTC Vive.

Companies will be taking resumes, and there will be prizes!
