this isn't your typical hackathon

South Texas' first ever cyber-challenge for High Schoolers

Compete in a 4-person team with your friends against other teams completing coding challenges ranging from quite easy to comparably difficult king-of-the-hill style.

Enter into 3 categories: Beginner, Medium, and Expert. Win prizes ranging from $50 to $2000. Are you ready?

Dinner games.

Play fun games with friends at the dinner table.

We’ll have burritos, pizza, and drinks at 8pm while playing all the same games you loved during quarantine.
Wanna compete?Register.

After dark.

An informative session for each challenge.

We’ll have chips and dip while we walkthrough each and every challenge so you can walk away with knowledge in whatever language you started with.
Interested?Register.

Late night.

A fun hangout at midnight.

We’ll have chocolate chip cookies, oreos, and milk at midnight while hanging out in the cube.
Sound fun?Register.

Quick answers to quick questions.

(so we don't get in trouble)

What ages?

Incoming High School freshmen (that’s 13yo) to High School seniors (that’s 19yo).

Is this like SoHacks?

In every way except you won’t create your own project. you’ll be competing.

Anything I should bring?

Pack your computer, your phone, and your sleeping bag (if you plan on sleeping). We’ll provide the goods.

Prizes?

Not just any prizes... We’re keeping them secret to maintain the hype! (but AirPods Pro's for your whole team!!)*

Stickers?

Duh. What kind of event would it be without stickers?*

Pre-requisites?

While nothing explicit, it’d be good to know a scripting language like javascript or python as that’s what each challenge is based on. This means HTML and CSS won’t work.*

So what if I only know HTML and CSS?

Not to worry, we’ll teach you the basics of Javascript to get you started on some of our challenges. It’s up to you to learn the rest!*
