eBay Inc. Opportunity Hack 2014, Chennai
Location: Tiruporur

This year the 36-hour hackathon will take place at PayPal Chennai office, on October 11 & 12, beginning at 08:00 am on October 11th.
During the hackathon, participants will work together with non-profit representatives to help implement technology solutions to some of their real, day-to-day challenges.
