Hackathon deadline extended by 2 days
Hey everyone,
We’ve decided to extend the hackathon by 2 more days.
Since this week shifted into weekdays and most of our participants are students, we’ve been getting a lot of emails asking for a bit more time. A lot of people want to participate or finish their projects but are tied up with school, homework, or other weekday commitments. Rather than have people rush or miss out entirely, we’re giving everyone some extra time to actually build and submit.
New deadline: 2 days from now (same time).
If you already submittedThank you — seriously. Getting your project…

Frisco Hacks 2026 starting soon!
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to check in because we are officially 3 days away! We kick off this Monday, February 9th at 11:00 AM CST.
Since this is a beginner-focused hackathon, don't overthink the "rules." We aren't looking for the most complex code in the world. We’re looking for creative ideas. If you can build a game with a unique or weird mechanic that makes people go "oh, that’s cool," you’ve got a massive shot at winning.
Why bother? Placement here looks great on college apps or a resume. You’re competing in a multi-sponsored event, and everyone gets a certificate…
