Yes! Food will be provided for the duration of the event. We will also have swag and prizes!

We will post the schedule closer to the event. There will be workshops and activities to take a break and meet other hackers and our wonderful sponsors.

The event is located in the Student Center South Building at the University of Houston at 4810 Calhoun Rd, Houston, TX 77004.

This event is open to any students. It is beginner friendly, with workshops to help you learn during the event, and mentors available to help you as you work on your project.

We are not able to provide travel reimbursements at this time.

Your laptop, charger, headphones, deodorant, and a pillow/blanket.

You cannot start until after opening ceremony. You may come up with ideas, but are not allowed to start coding. You cannot work on a previous project, but can use frameworks if you clearly credit them in your readme and differentiate what you made vs what you used.

We will send out acceptances 3 weeks before the event. If you need earlier confirmation to book travel, please reach out to our team at internal.affairs@cougarcs.com. Applications will close once we reach the maximum amount of hackers we can support, but we will open a waitlist on the day of the event for any local hackers who want to fill the spots of any accepted hackers who do not end up attending.
