One of the core missions of ARK is education. We place a large emphasis on pushing awareness of blockchain technology and ARK in particular. By supporting hackathons we are able to connect with young developers and expose them to a wider field of view of the blockchain world. Participating in blockchain education is an exciting way to help steer the direction of the future as we enjoy taking a lead in the education of future blockchain developers.

As such we have made a dedicated Github repository containing all Hackathon projects (using ARK) housed under one roof. Anyone will be able to see, contribute, brainstorm and connect with other fellow ARKathoners.

Over the past year ARK has sponsored and attended several hackathons. The quality of projects constructed were excellent and the level of attention directed toward ARK was great. 24–36 hours of hacking by these extremely talented, young and enthusiastic developers produced results that were truly mind-boggling at a rate that would put some senior developers to shame. And now, with the release of our ARK Deployer, hackathon participants will be able to have their own blockchain up and running in well under an hour.
