TAMUmake is a hardware hackathon hosted by IEEE-TAMU where you and your team create and design a project in 48 hours. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this year's event will be virtual. We will host the actual hackathon from March 5th - March 7th. We plan to host various workshops and hold hardware pickups the week before the event, so keep an eye out for that!

​

We are excited to meet you, so come test your creativity, get some freebies, and win some cool prizes as well!

• Innovation
  The best projects: The design is either an invention or a superbly unique innovation on a relatively new or developing idea. It could also provide an alternative approach to an old technology that greatly increases efficiency
• Functionality
  Design works and is easy to use. It is clear what the end goal of the project is, and the project achieves that end goal.
• Extensibility
  The project clearly establishes how to innovate upon it and has a clear design. There is a clear distinction between the software and hardware and a different engineer could further expand upon the idea.
• Design
  This project goes above and beyond. It looks good, user interface is attractive and attracts use!
• Environmental Rubric
  Project would help a specific area of the environment. It is clear how this would be implemented in real life and the team has a plan for how to implement it.
• Accessibility Rubric
  Project would clearly help a problem that humans face. The team has a plan for the way in which it could be introduced and implemented into society. It goes above and beyond!
• Security
  Team articulates clearly how it addresses the security concern and which area of security. They address how it could be implemented into daily life, and how it would be protected against potential targeting attacks.
• Best Beginner Hack
  The design works well! The team presents well, and each member of the team shares during the presentation.
