Hack NTX is a 100% community organized hackathon by TechMill, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on building community through networking, events, and education.
This event is a first of it's kind for our organization and our community. Since the founding of TechMill, we have had a long history of creating and supporting tech and smart city initiatives in our home city of Denton. Whether it was open data, government transparency, or civic engagement - we've always had a soft spot for civic technology.
For 2018, a successful event means curating a list of projects with attainable, productive outcomes within a day, and providing the top teams (as chosen by the judges) with cash prizes. We want everyone to have a great time, become more aware of the smart city initiatives around North Texas, and provide the organizations with projects with validation or prototype of their innovative ideas.
If your company provides products or services in the software or hardware industries, we're also looking for in-kind donations and prize tracks.
