A New Year of Hackathons!

It's a brand new year, which for developers and hackers can mean only one thing - a new year of hackathons! Throughout January and beyond, Pebble will be making appearances at various events (large and small) so if you spot an event near you, be sure to come along. We will be giving away Pebble swag and selling refurbished Pebbles for $50, and will also be on hand to answer any questions you have as well as help you create the best hacks on Pebble. We saw some awesome apps and hacks arise from hackathons in 2014, but we think the best is yet to come!

See below for details on the most immediate dates, or the Pebble Developers website Events page for all our plans for future events. If you are organizing a hacking event that we could attend, be sure to get in touch.
