Seattle's Stupid Stuff No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon
A meetup/hackathon aimed at creating things that are completely useless. Currently on haitus. Contact us at seattlestupidhackathon@gmail.com if you want to help bring this back after COVID-19.
Organized by Harry Maher and based on the original event created by Sam Lavigne & Amelia Winger-Bearskin. The Seattle Stupid Hackathon group/monthly meetup (and this cloned website) was originally created/organized by Ryan Pasecky, who also made the poster to the left. Thanks!
