ComDes Fün Committee

It's time once again for the 5th annual TXSTHack! This year, we're putting together 8 teams of Communication Design, Computer Science, and Business students to work together on solving a problem using Facial Recognition and Augmented Reality!
If you've put dog ears on your face with SnapChat filters, you've got the idea :)
Both days, we'll have industry experts available to you as mentors on Day 1 and Judges on Day 2. We take over the 3rd floor of the Art Building, play loud music, drink lots of coffee and have a ton of fun. For an idea of what went on at previous year's events, check out #txsthack on <A HREF="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/txsthack/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Instagram</A> and <A HREF="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23txsthack&src=typd" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Twitter</A>.
