February 2019
Date & Time: February 8-9, 2019, 5pm-5pm (24 hours)
Location: Langford Buildings, TAMU
Participants: Teams of 4-6 (students from ALL disciplines are welcome!)
Why you should consider register for it:
Teams will compete for $5,000 in prize money by using open data from a variety of public sources to address assigned challenges. The teams can produce, for example apps, prototypes, visualizations, art, installations, or anything else that will enhance Texas A&M’s campus.
This 24-hour creative event is a great opportunity for students to use the skills that they learn at Texas A&M. This Hackathon is not limited to technology and coding skills, like traditional Hackathons, but also welcomes solutions in the form of design, engineering, and spatial creativity to solve problems. We welcome students from all disciplines to participate. In previous years, students were able to collaborate in interdisciplinary teams.
Challengers: TAMU GLBT Center, Cultural Awareness & Diversity Expansion Team (C.A.D.E.T), University Libraries, & more!
Example Challenge:
As of January 25th, 2017, 1502 Aggies have requested accommodations with the TAMU Disability Services. We ask you to use the skills and knowledge of your discipline to imagine a TAMU campus of the future, where accommodations are not add-ons and after-thoughts, but integral to the physical and digital fabric of the University, its landscape, streets, sidewalks, exterior and interior of buildings, classrooms, technology, digital interfaces, etc. We are looking for visionary projects and ideas that break away from the current status quo.
Prizes: Up to $5,000 in prizes (Prizes are also to be confirmed and subject to change).
