The CrimsonHacks event brings together hackers from all over the South for a 24-hour hacking marathon, or “hackathon.” Teams or individuals attend workshops, competitions and other activities based around legal, fun hacking. Attendees stay overnight in the Ferguson Center Ballroom and have food provided for them throughout the weekend. Bailey McIntosh, Executive Director of CrimsonHacks, said this event provides a place for computer science majors and students in related fields a way to share and communicate.
