HackTX
HackTX, taking place on October 15 & 16 at the Gates Dell Complex (GDC), is an annual hackathon for UT Austin students to demonstrate their skills by building a creative solution using technology. This twenty-four hour event gives people the opportunity to meet others with similar interests, participate in workshops, and build out something they are passionate about. Typically, there are two paths: the Beginners and Intermediate paths, but for the first time ever, Texas Blockchain will be introducing the new Blockchain path dedicated to developing on-chain projects.
So, what exactly is Texas Blockchain’s Role in this Event?
- Workshops!
- Sponsors & Grants!
- FREE merch and food!
