[http://tamuhack.com/ TAMUHack] is the official [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon hackathon] of the university, where 700 students across the world get together on our campus to build amazing products quickly and intelligently. TAMUHack brings relevant industrial partners such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Rackspace to connect with our students and helps them to meet the needs of a world that is incessantly expanding. This event particularly allows the students to exercise their sense of entrepreneurship and innovation by rapidly developing solutions to modern problems in an efficient manner, and also helps our students to learn to work with a diverse set of team members. Additionally, this event exposes our students to the rapid construction/deployment framework, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development agile development], that is one of the hallmarks of modernly relevant powerhouses in tech such as Square, Uber, Facebook, AirBnB, and others.
