End of Day 2!
Hello!
As Day 2 draws near its end, I wanted to congratulate all of you on your hard work! While you are welcome to continue working on your projects during the following weekdays, you are under no obligation to. Furthermore, as the hackathon’s official hours run only during the four weekend days, there will be fewer mentors and staff available to answer questions during the week -- so make sure to get all the help you need now!
Good luck to all, and happy hacking!

Hackathon Day 2!
Hello hackers!
After a successful day of hacking yesterday, you’ve all made it to Day 2! Remember that mentors will be available from 12pm-10pm EST (9am-7pm PST) today via Discord. The Discord system has been updated: instead of filing a ticket, you now have a premade private channel with all your group members and all the mentors + staff. You can now ask questions to mentors directly here or arrange meetings by using @mentor or @supermentor! After your Project Proposal Pitches, you likely have a lot of feedback from the Supermentors to ruminate over. We encourage you to tag them…
