+On December 12th, we hosted our first 24-hour [Mini Holiday Hackathon](https://www.codedex.io/community/monthly-challenge/december-2023)!  What better way to wrap up the year than get together for some fun and friendly competition? 🚀
 
-For those who are new to hackathons – this is a great one for you! Hackathons, especially mini ones, are a great way to dive head first into a project and learn a lot in a short period of time. Hackathons are also great to work collaboratively with other learners to move a project forward and over the finish line – communication is key!
+176 hackers from 25+ countries joined us in Discord and worked collabortively to move a project forward and over the finish line! Altogether, it was a huge blast.
