Why us?

Our names are Steven Gates (Junior, Applied Math & CS) and Cameron Sinko (Freshman, Computer Engineering). In January, we went to a hackathon called BrickHacks in Rochester, New York. There, we created Software Lab because we were planning to host a hackathon in our hometown in Akron, Ohio. Turns out, other hackathons had the same problem we were having so we got funded by a group called EXL Center at The University of Akron to travel around and help hackathons.

Why Go?

Go is the hip new language. It has all the ease of use of a language such as Python, but still can give you nitty gritty control that C++ gives. It is especially optimized for use as a server side programming language - that is why Software Lab is built in Go!
