what they made to judges. It has nothing to do with breaking into systems, and no coding background is required.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

are rarely the most technical ones. They are the teams that picked a problem worth solving and could explain who it helps and why. First-time attendees are exactly who this event is built for.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
