Welcome to the carnival, hackers!
Aside from hacking away and building an amazing project, you’re also here to have fun — and what better way to do that than with friends? In preparation for the carnival, you’ll be grouped into a guild of performers who are interested in the same activities as you.
Complete activities together with your guild members to earn points and possibly win some cool prizes! Most importantly, make some new friends who you can enjoy the event with! All the while, you’ll be enjoying free food, learning new tricks from workshops, and building your professional skills at career events.
