HackSMU is Southern Methodist University’s annual 24-hour hackathon, an event that combines the functions of a tech conference, a career fair, and a startup competition. A collaboration between the SMU Computer Science Club and Lyle School of Engineering, HackSMU was first held in 2019 by a group of students eager to see technological innovation and creativity thrive right here on our very own campus. HackSMU III will be held in the fall of 2020.
