Each spring at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia, a low-cost and high-energy competitive computing event called a hackathon is offered to youth and adult competitors to design solutions to a community problem. Formerly the Facebook group page of uCode@UWG (2014-2016), this page will continue to serve as a place for announcing Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Computing opportunities we hear about in the Carroll GA, Georgia region and nearby.
