Our Mission

a team picture of the HackUTD organizers

We inspire students to innovate and learn new technologies through hackathons, 24-hour events with challenges, free food & merch, and fun games & activities.

We host HackUTD, Texas’ largest hackathon. We also assist with other hackathons at UTD, and host helpful workshops that anyone can attend. Regardless of what we’re working on, we aim to make our hackathons accessible and open to everyone. Glad to see you here!
