What is HackUTA?
HackUTA, one of North Texas' largest hackathons, is a 24-hour marathon for students to design, develop, and pitch a project from scratch. Regardless of experience, skill, major, or background, students will work together to pitch the best solution possible.
Why participate?
Come develop skills, make friends, and earn points at our workshops, socials, mini-event games, and challenges. We will be providing free meals, snacks, boba, and the chance to earn prizes through hacking tracks and points. Aditionally, a free HackUTA 6 T-shirt will be awarded to students who demo their project to our judges.
How do I prepare? What if I'm a beginner? What will be available for me?
During the event, there will be technical—and non-technical—opportunities hosted throughout, and mentors ready to assist throughout the 24-hour marathon. We highly recommend beginners submit their projects, regardless of how clean it is! The experience is more than worth it. :)
Requirements
Judging will be conducted in person. For a project to be considered for prizes, it must be submitted on Devpost and include the 3 items:
1. Title
2. Description
3. GitHub URL
Prizes
