The ScottyLabs Challenge
Part mad libs, part algorithms, and a 100% fun, the ScottyLabs Challenge is your chance to come up with the craziest solution to an interesting problem. Hold on to those Crayola markers and grab that Elmer’s glue, because you’ve only got 24 minutes to incorporate as many of 24 nouns and actions into your master plan!
Friday 11:30am-2pm – By the walkway between the Fence and the UC
Friday 5-6:30pm – In the midway tend
Saturday 1-3pm – By the walkway between the Fence and the UC

Demo Day
Been working on a neat project in your free time? Want to see what other CMU students are working on in between classes? Join us for Demo Day - a place to show off your latest app or tech project. The only requirement is that you didn't make it for class.
Presenters will each have 3 minutes to show off their project!
Remember to be proud of your work, no matter how big or small.
What do we do?
APIS@CMU
You need data about classes for your app? We can hook you up.
ScottyLabs is creating APIs for student data at CMU, because scraping HTML and parsing PDFs is no fun.
Go to the APIS@CMU WebsiteSkillSwap
I'll teach you color theory if you teach me graph theory.
Come learn from other students at SkillSwap. There are workshops about everything from programming to pitching an idea. (Some workshops: Design Process, Pitching, What is a webapp?, API Design, HTML/CSS, iOS)
This year, SkillSwap Weekend was September 8th and 9th. You can see summaries and get slides from the talks on the site.
TartanHacks
Twenty-four hours to make something awesome.
Tartanhacks is an event which brings people together to see who can build the coolest application in 24 hours.
See the TartanHacks 1 site.
