UGA Hacks – Learn, Create, Share.

University of Georgia, Lamar Dodd School of Art

October 23rd-25th, 2015

It all started here.

We're calling hackers and innovators of all kinds – designers, coders, engineers, developers, modern athletes, gods, etc. – to come with an idea, with a passion, and with a drive to emerge from beneath the surface and create something out of nothing. So here's to you, the digital artist about to take another step, or perhaps your first step, to joining our global community of creators.

Make an impact and Happy Hacking!

You can find a map of parking areas here.
Parking is available for free all weekend at E07, PAC Deck, S08, and East Campus Deck.
