MTSU HackMT goes virtual this year for computer-savvy college students Jan 27, 2021 at 07:00 am by WGNS
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. When a tired bunch of college students and several dozen other participants wrapped up the fifth annual MTSU computer science HackMT with the rousing awards ceremony before heading home in January 2020, no one had any idea Year 6 would be held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But that’s the reality of the situation and the event Friday through Sunday, Jan. 29-31, as HackMT organizers want to keep the popular hackathon running and in a safe environment, and not canceled as so many events of all types have fared since last March.
