13 projects from Delhack, U. of Delaware’s first student hackathon

We’ve come to a point when you can’t much have a serious college computer science program without a student-run hackathon. It’s an undergraduate rite of passage, the student newspaper of today for a different kind of learning.
Now University of Delaware can say it has had its first, called Delhack. Below find the 13 projects.

1. YouCanSiton.me [winner] — using RF chips, you can see what chairs are available at the UD library.
2. Dropster [winner]– a distributed computing tool using Dropbox
3. Hacking Survival [winner]– an online tool to allow users to create ‘choose your own adventure’ style stories.
4. Course Bits [winner] — an advice forum and social network for UD students
