A听24-hour听invention marathon of sorts, participants will have the opportunity to听try out new ideas and collaborate in a fun environment while racing听to create the next great software project.听

T9Hacks is geared toward听college students and recent college grads, especially women鈥攖he 鈥淭鈥 stands for 鈥淭itle IX.鈥 Men can attend, too;听but in Sadie Hawkins fashion, they need to be invited by a woman. Women, non-binary听and/or trans individuals听can register by themselves or with a team and may invite one other male teammate.

Explore the possibilities. Get started on a project you鈥檝e had in the back of your mind. Create a solution to a problem you see often. Build something you never have before.

And for those who have never written a line of code: This event is especially for you. No prior听programming experience is required; mentors will guide you through the process.

Participants听need not听be听CU 麻豆影院 students to attend T9Hacks,听but听registration is required. The event is听completely free, and food will be provided.
