Event Description
BrickHack is an annual hackathon event at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where students from around the country flock to RIT for a weekend of programming and contest. They create things, solve practical problems, compete for prizes, and interact with sponsors. As of January 28th, 2016, there are over 500 people confirmed and registered to attend. There is still another month of registration.
Google's definition of a hackathon: an event, typically lasting several days, in which a large number of people meet to engage in collaborative computer programming.
Justin W. Flory is a student at RIT and can help support the event as a locale.
