Knight Hacks is a Hackathon, which is a 36-hour "invention marathon" where you join a team of up to four to create a project on a weekend. This year Knight Hacks is in-person being held from October 24 - 26 at the University of Central Florida! We've assembled a team of awesome, experienced mentors who will help you move forward and complete your project. When you encounter issues, have questions, get stuck on a bug, or feel lost, don't worry! All throughout the event, we have workshops to help get you up to speed on skills you might need for your project, as well as fun social events to meet other hackers and take a break from your project. And of course, we have prizes! Knight Hacks supports you by providing access to resources like Google Cloud credits, and free domain names.
Knight Hacks will be held at the University of Central Florida main campus. Location of events can be found in the schedule. We encourage hackers to use all allowed space available on campus, such as the library, study rooms and common areas when working on your project.
Below is the list of all available rooms and their purpose. Accessing a room that is not publicly accessible (i.e. Library and Student Union during their open hours) or one of the rooms listed in the Room List below is strictly prohibited and may result in your dismissal from Knight Hacks VIII. We will have volunteers and organizers regularly patrolling all areas to make sure that hackers stay within these allotted spaces.
Also, please use these rooms for their intended purpose as listed in the room list. For example, please leave the sleep rooms for those looking to rest and setup air mattresses, the lo-fi room should remain calm and quiet for those looking to escape the craziness of the atrium, and DO NOT setup workspaces in the workshop rooms, as these will be cleared out for various workshops throughout the weekend.
Parking will be provided for all of those who intend on driving. You are to park in Parking Garage C upon arrival. If you park before 5:30 PM, you will need to print out a parking permit to hang on your dash. You can find the permit here:
