What is a hackathon?
A hackathon is a weekend-long event where students come together to learn the latest technologies & build innovative projects.
What if I don’t know how to code?
No worries, UB Hacking is the perfect place and time to learn! We welcome attendees from all skill levels and technical backgrounds. We’ll have introductory workshops for you to learn new skills, industry mentors to help you out, and great tools to build your first project. Whether you’ve never coded before or have lots of experience, there’s a place for you at UB Hacking!
Who can attend?
If you’re currently a college or high school student, you’re welcome to register! We accept participants on a rolling basis and you will be notified when you are accepted.
What do I need for this event?
You just need a device that can connect to the internet and a willingness to grow and learn to get in on the action!
Do I need to have a group?
Nope! You can be a lone wolf, come with a team (no more than four people), or join other hackers at UB Hacking. Additionally, we’ll have team building activities to help you find the right teammates!
What is the cost to attend?
This event is free for all who attend! We’ll be providing the workshops, activities, and other digital tools!
Can I use past projects?
True to the spirit of hackathons, you may not submit your past projects to UB Hacking 2022. Similarly, you may not submit your UB Hacking 2022 project to other hackathons either. Only projects created during the event will be eligible for prizes.
Will there be swag?
Yes there will be swag!
