TAMUhack is Texas A&M’s premier, nationwide event for students from all different backgrounds to come together and share their passion for learning, creativity, and self-expression through technology.
For the fourth year in a row. TAMUhack is bringing together the most technologically savvy, creative and driven student hackers from all over the country to make their wildest ideas become a reality. And this time we want you to attend!
We will give you more food than you can eat. You will learn more here, in 24 hours, than you will care to admit. More companies will want your resume than the number of copies you will have.
This year, TAMUhack will be held in the beautiful Memorial Student Center -- the living room of the campus. Come hang out with us and experience why the MSC is one of Texas A&M’s greatest living traditions!
Applications for TAMUhack Fall 2017 aren't open yet. But sign up for updates with your email above and we'll reach out as soon as they open up!
Any graduate/undergrate student who is over 18. Regardless of your experience, education, background or anything else, as long as you are passionate about learning, building and having fun. (even if your preferred editor is nano)
Absolutely zero. We want you here because you have a passion for creating, not becuase you know how to run MapReduce jobs on 20 Cassandra clusters through a Rails app which is using node serial to pull coordinates from a Raspberry Pi. Even if you are brand new to programming, this is the perfect opportunity to learn. There are plenty of people to learn from and help you along the way so just ask!
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. It's completely free for all accepted hackers. To make it even better, we'll throw in a ton of swag, food, wifi, workspaces and caffeine while you are here.
We are looking for novices, experts and everyone in between. We are really looking out for people who can show they have a passion for creation and learning.
That's awesome! We'll update this section with more details around August. Questions? [email protected]
Obviously spaces - don't tabs make you practically unhirable?
Anything! Website? Cross-platform mobile app? Wearable that tickles you? Concerts in virtual reality? Neural Net diagnostics? Sounds great! Creations will be judged on creativity, innovation, technical skill and utility.
Teams can be up to 4 people. It is not necessary to have a team before the event, or have one at all. Hacking with friends is more fun though. There will be plenty of time after the opening ceremony to form teams if you don't have one yet.
Please bring a valid student ID in addition to anything that would help you with creating your hack or making you comfortable. A Laptop, charger, mouse, keyboard, extranous hardware, light jacket and any hygienic products should be helpful. Don't bring anything you wouldn't bring on an airplane - so no toothpaste over 3.4 oz.
Yes! In addition to the MLH Hardware Lab (which includes Oculus Rifts, Pebbles and Leap Motions) we will always have our own custom hardware available.
Of course! We will have workshops running through the whole event. A compelete list will be coming closer to the hackathon.
What a great question! Check out the MLH Code of Conduct. Although we're all here to have fun, we do not want to create an unpleasant environment for any hacker.
