Hosted by CougarCS, CodeRED is a place for students to have fun, learn something new, explore possibilities, solve problems, and build out their dreams without fear or doubt.
Whether you are building your first website, diving into the world of virtual reality, or building something truly game changing in an industry, come join us at CodeRED 2016. We'll provide you with everything you need - food, mentors, hardware, swag, etc. Just make sure you come hungry, curious, and eager to build your future.
Hackathons have taken the world by storm, and they're not about breaking or stealing. They're about solving problems, building ideas, and pushing the limits of the mind and body to create something amazing.
It will be at the University of Houston Student Center South.
Any undergraduate and graduate student from any college, university, or higher education institution. Graduates who graduated within 1 year of the event may also attend.
High schoolers can attend! Do not hesitate to sign up.
Absolutely nothing for the event. We'll be providing snacks and meals, and sponsors will be handing out swag and prizes.
A computer (preferably laptop), student ID, chargers, a sleeping bag if needed, and anything you need to maintain hygiene.
We will be providing up to $200 travel reimbursement for approved applications. Travel reimbursement amount will be determined based on travel distance and will be distributed during the event. We are currently not accepting new reimbursement applications.
We suggest no more than five people, and please don't be a one man team. The real fun and productivity happens when you're a team. Note: We will only be providing prizes for up to four people per team.
Drive, carpool, Uber/Lyft, airplane, bus, etc. We will be providing busses for high demand locations.
If we find that an area has a true high demand and funds are sufficient, we will provide a bus.
Don't worry! That's pretty common, you'll have time before the hacking begins to find a team. We'll also have Facebook group for attendees.
Absolutely not! Any major may attend, and we frequently find many business, biology, and engineering majors at hackathons. All levels of skill and skillsets are welcome.
Fantastic! We're excited that you would like to volunteer and/or mentor. Contact us at hackathon@cougarcs.com.
Apply! If you get accepted we will ask for confirmation. If you confirm and cannot attend, please let us know ASAP so we can let someone else in.
