At UGAHacks, we help your ideas sprout to life. Log on and get hacking with us in this epic 36 hour programming sleepover, hosted in UGA's expansive Lamar Dodd School of Art building.

Hackathons are all about exploring your ideas and bringing them to fruition. We've got mentors, workshops and mixers to help you get what you need and branch out, and fun events like karaoke and video game tournaments when you're bushed and ready to unwind. We'll keep you well fed and watered all weekend. It's time to go out on a limb and find your roots!

Don't worry if you aren't a CS major, or don't feel comfortable coding! We have many workshops for you to attend, mentors to spruce up your project, and supportive teammates waiting for your arrival! Hackathons are about fertilizing your knowledge and we're here for your growth!

Stumped and don't know what to code? Don't worry - challenges have your back.

Challenges are projects geared around using a specific theme or tool. The best project built around each challenge will receive a prize.

Come find out what challenges we'll announce that we and our sponsors have in store for you!
