I&#x27;m in Seattle, that&#x27;s the funny part! I used to work for Google, too, and I never heard about any hackathons there, though it was a few years ago now.<p>If it&#x27;s primarily a student thing, it makes sense that I wouldn&#x27;t be hearing about it, though, as I&#x27;m long past that part of my life and have no connection to the academic world.
