UMD Claims "Best School for Hackers" Title

"The University of Maryland, College Park has claimed the title Best School for Hackers. They have got the trophy to prove it. Maryland beat heavyweights like MIT, Stanford, Michigan and Carnegie Mellon and they did it by sending the most students to five hackathons last year. They placed first in two of them. But wait. If you're thinking these schools are celebrating college kids who break into computer networks, you're wrong."
