Gather's 8-bit virtual spaces lets your hackers meet each other and work together in a fun environment. From team formation to meeting with mentors and sponsors, to judges (and employees at sponsor companies) viewing final presentations asynchronously, to playing games and escaping Dungeon Maps, there is a lot we can do to keep hackers engaged—all with your arrow keys.
