Frequently Asked Questions

Who is allowed to participate in TigerHacks?

All undergraduates from a university/college are welcome to attend and participate. We've made the decision to close registration to high school students. We encourage you to participate in MissouriHacks instead!

What should I bring to TigerHacks?

Bring your computer and charger! Also make sure to bring hygiene items like deodorant, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. And bring copies of your resume for the career fair!

What is at TigerHacks?

There’ll be lots of food and swag, along with fun events and opportunities to connect with businesses!

Are there career opportunities?

Yep! We will be holding a career fair, so make sure to bring copies of your resume!

I have dietary restrictions. Will there be accommodations?

Yes! When you register, let us know and we will have food options available for you!

Will there be places to sleep?

We have 10-15 mattresses available, for those who are traveling to Mizzou!

What is the maximum and minimum team size? Who can be on the team?

Teams can have anywhere from 1 to 4 people in them. You’ll still get all 4 prizes even if you have fewer than 4 members.

I’m a beginner! Can I still come?

Of course! We have a beginner category just for people like you!

What is the difference between Beginner and Developer?

The Beginner category is open to freshman/sophomore students in CS/IT and those in non-computing majors. When you register, we ask for your skill level and resume. If our team feels that your situation does not merit Beginner, we'll reach out!

Am I required to be at TigerHacks the whole time? Can I attend virtually?

You can leave the TigerHacks buildings at any time! But there is no virtual option, so you must check in on Friday in Lafferre and at least one member of your team must be present at closing ceremony if you want to collect your prizes. You must also have at least one member of your team present for judging.

Are we allowed to use ChatGPT?

If you use ChatGPT or other AI tools, make sure to declare this when submitting your project. Failing to do so will result in your disqualification.

How can I improve my score?

Make sure to take a look at the rubrics for the categories you’re submitting to! Also, make sure to have a mentor for your project. Mentors are people associated with TigerHacks who help you with your project. They can be a sponsor, a volunteer, or even a member of the planning committee!

Can I submit my project to multiple categories?

Yes, but you cannot submit to both developer and beginner.

I have a question that isn’t on here.

Feel free to send us a message on our Discord!
