XHacks is CMU's largest design hackathon and is a weekend of building, brainstorming, and turning bold ideas into real projects. Come build that portfolio piece and get ready to brainstorm, create, and see what your team can bring to life. All majors, years, and skill levels welcome!
Theme
Design that Brightens the Mundane
Who can join?
XHacks is open to all university students, regardless of school or degree program. Don't worry if you don't have much experience in design—the weekend will include workshops and short lectures to help get everyone up to speed. And you'll have help! Mentors will be available to give advice and answer your questions.
How do I join?
You're already here! RSVP here on Luma & join UXA's Slack. Teams can be 2-4 people.
