RowdyHacks is UTSA's annual hackathon, hosted by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) at UTSA.
It's a weekend-long event where students, tech enthusiasts, and creative minds from all backgrounds come together to collaborate, innovate, and build real-world projects in 24 hours.
All students can sign up to be a hacker. Regardless of your experience, education, or background, as long as you are excited about learning, building, and having fun, you are welcome to attend. Absolutely zero experience is needed. The organizers want participants because they have a passion for creating, not because they're the most experienced hacker on the block. There will be lots of resources including workshops and a bunch of mentors to help beginners get started. There'll also be plenty of people to learn from and help out!
The event is completely free for all accepted hackers. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. To make it even better, they'll be giving out a ton of swag to every hacker, and prizes to the winners. The deadline for registration is , at 23:59.
Teams are limited to 1-4 hackers. If you have a team in mind, make sure all members submit an application before the deadline. If you don't have a team and would like to be a part of one, there will be a dedicated time for team formation after the opening ceremony.
Participants should bring a valid ID in addition to anything that would help with creating their hack or making them comfortable. A laptop, charger, mouse, keyboard, hardware, light jacket, and any hygienic products should be helpful. Don't bring anything you wouldn't bring on an airplane.
