Introducing Stack Five's first Stackathon!

Introducing Stack Five's first annual hackathon - The Stackathon! Participants will have two weeks between June 14, 2024 and June 28, 2024 to create a project around this year's theme: promoting remote work. We will be featuring some of the winners and honourable mentions through our blog and Discord server throughout the hackathon.

The Theme

This year's theme is remote work and collaboration tools!

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, remote work has become more than just a trend—it's a fundamental shift in how we approach productivity, collaboration, and well-being. As we fight against the return to the traditional office setting, we embark on a mission to build innovative solutions that empower remote workers, foster inclusive work cultures, and redefine the way we connect, create, and thrive from anywhere in the world. Throughout this hackathon, we invite you to unleash your creativity, channel your passion, and leverage your skills to develop apps and tooling that revolutionize the remote work experience. Whether it's enhancing communication tools, streamlining project management platforms, or promoting mental health and work-life balance, your ideas have the power to shape the future of work for generations to come. Together, we'll defy boundaries, break barriers, and pave the way for a more flexible, adaptable, and human-centric approach to work. Let's embrace the possibilities, embrace the challenges, and embrace the opportunity to make a difference in how we work and live. Thank you for being part of this hackathon. Your contributions, your dedication, and your vision are what will propel us forward into a new era of remote work innovation.
