Hackathons have taken the world by storm, and they're not about breaking or stealing. They're about solving problems and taking ideas and then building them for the world to see. They're about pushing the limits of the mind and body to create something amazing.
There's only one catch: You only have 24 hours.
Prepare for a weekend filled with learning new technologies, pushing your limits, and making new friends. Students from UH and UHD are teaming up to create the University of Houston System's first major hackathon.
Whether you're making your first website, hacking health with hardware, or creating something fun; CodeRED is for you. We'll have great workshops, mentors, and more!
We'll provide plenty of food, awesome swag, and everything you need to carry out your craziest ideas.
CodeRED abides by the MLH code of conduct. For more info see here
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.
No problem! Designers and creatives are very common at hackathons. Want to learn how to code? We can help you out with that too.
Absolutely nothing for the event. We'll be providing snacks and meals, and sponsors will be handing out swag and prizes.
Any undergraduate and graduate student. You can be from any school. UH-System recent graduates are welcome as well.
A computer (preferably laptop), student ID, chargers, a sleeping bag if needed, and anything you need to maintain hygene.
Drive, carpool, Uber/Lyft, etc. If there's enough demand we'll look into organizing busses.
No more than four people, please don't be one man team. The real fun and productivity happens when you're a team.
Pretty much anything you want. Your mind is your limit. As long as you're not soldering and/or doing anything illegal.
