The MaroonBase Ecosystem is comprised of the MaroonBase Resource Guide and the MaroonBase Student app.

The MaroonBase Resource Guide is available online only and can be used by anyone (i.e. faculty, staff, students, former students, etc.).

The resource guide is a curated look at events, student orgs, research projects, courses, resources or tools, and centers or programs related to to academic excellence, innovation, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship, service, diversity, health, and general student engagement.

The opportunities listed in the resource guide may have access limitations. For example, the resource guide will have The Studio which is open to everyone and it will also have resources like maker spaces (i.e. a 3D printing lab) that are only open to students within a certain major, or students taking a specific class. The resource guide aims to include valuable information including location, hours of operation, who has access, a link to the website, person to contact, etc. If something in the resource guide is eligible for the app it will list the points in the description.

The MaroonBase Student app is a mobile app available only to current, enrolled A&M students. This includes undergraduate students, graduate students, and professional students (i.e. MBA students). The MaroonBase Student app has some of the things listed in the resource guide but not everything. The app only has events and resources from the guide open to many students.

The goal of the MaroonBase Student app is to expose students to opportunities centered around academic excellence, innovation, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship, service, diversity, health, and general student engagement. We want to give them a deeper transformational experience, increase collaborative opportunities, inspire innovation, and urge students to take advantage of all the opportunities A&M has to offer in these areas.

To accomplish this goal, we want to reward students who are already attending these events and using these resources as well as encourage other students to give them a try.

Students earn points by attending events or using resources listed in the app. MaroonBase gives points based on time spent at the event or resource – ranging from 15 minutes to several hours. Each 15 minutes equals 25 points – so 45 minutes would be 75 points, an hour would be 100 points, etc. All live, in-person events and resources are geo-fenced, so after a student has found an event or resource all they have to do is show up, check in, and check out after at least 15 mins.

Yes! Visit this step by step PDF explaining how to download the app, create an account, and check into an event when you arrive!

There are two ways to win prizes* – the monthly drawing and the end of year grand prizes. At the end of each month, all qualifying students will automatically be entered into the monthly drawing. Every 200 points is an entry into the drawing. So, for example, if a student has 900 points at the end of the month their name will be entered into the drawing four times for that month.

Points earned each month throughout the semester will accumulate and count toward your overall semester point total. The top three students with the most points for the entire year will receive one of three grand prizes.

*Prizes are funded by a gifts from former students and other donors.*

Yes. Points earned each month will roll over to the next month and will count toward your semester total. However, the points used to enter the monthly drawing will only be the points you earn during that month. For example, if you earn 500 points in September and 300 points in October, you will be automatically entered one time for the October monthly drawing but you will have 800 points for your semester total.

No. At the end of each semester, after the top point earners are announced, all MaroonBase accounts and their respective point totals will be reset to zero.
