Welcome to Code Swarm 2022

A Twenty-Four-Hour hackathon hosted by the Computer Science Club at Delaware State University! A hackathon is a sprint-based design event in which computer programmers and non-programmers collaborate intensively with one another to create code for new software, products, or services. The objective of a hackathon is to competitively develop and construct prototypes of an idea in just under twenty-four hours.
