About this event

Superheroes vs Master Hackers is a 36-hour hackathon that brings together the top fintech developers in New York to supercharge financial services at Barclays brand new Accelerator and Innovation Hub, Rise New York (http://www.thinkrise.com). Your challenge - create the future of banking, now.

You may choose one of two factions. Join the elite Super Heroes or Master Hackers. Your team will then be able to compete on one of three worlds for massive prizes. Each world will have one Champion.

These Champions will then be stripped of their powers as the Judges decide their fate. Only one team will be given the honor to serve and protect New York City. They will hold this position until a new war breaks out, where you will have to defend your title.
