A group of Tufts Computer Science students tonight are hosting Tufts’ first-ever Hackathon, a 24 hour marathon of programming and design during which they will work on project ideas and meet with technology leaders. Juniors Marshall Moutenot, Alden Keefe Sampson, Russell Stern and Adrienne Dreyfus organized the event. The Hackathon, presented by Evernote, a privately held company based in California that specializes in note-taking technology, is sponsored by Microsoft, Crashlytics, GitHub, Thoughtbot and New England Venture Capital Association. The team of up to three students that best uses Evernote’s note-taking technology in their project will win the grand prize — a trip to Silicon Valley to attend the Evernote Trunk Conference this summer, where they will be able to network with developers.
