Code Runners 2026: visit the first edition
Our Mission
HackHCC is Houston City College's own 24-hour hackathon, run by students in the Computer Science Association. For one day and one night, hackers team up, pick a challenge, and build something real, with free food and merch keeping everyone going and games filling the gaps between sprints.
You don't need experience to belong here. Our workshops assume nothing, and at our first event most of the room had never hacked before. First-timers welcome isn't a footnote for us. It's the point. If you're curious enough to show up, you're in: HackHCC is open to everyone.
