Quick Left's Rube Goldberg Hackfest

Most Quick Left Hackfests are what you build in 3 hours or less. But this time we’re not worried about what you build...but how you get there. This Rube Goldberg Hackfest will have you completing a simple task in the most complex of ways. We may throw in some wrenches midstream too!
No need to form a team before-hand, they'll come together night of and will write in the language of their choice. Developers, designers, and spectators are welcome. Prizes awarded for the top teams and the beer is on… Show more us. So come play for a bit. Doors open at 6 and the hacking kicks off at 6:30 sharp.
