A hackathon is a large-scale event where people design and build a project from scratch.
It's completely free to attend! There is no cost to participate! We cover the cost of food at the event and provide swag for all participants.
No experience is needed! There will be workshops to teach you everything you need to know to hack at Hack the Hill.
36 hours of networking with our sponsors, learning, and collaborating with other hackers. As a first-time hacker, you can participate in our workshops to learn the basics of web development, game development, and hardware development.
No, all projects must be started after open ceremonies on the first day of the event. No code should be written for the project prior to the hackathon, however, you can start thinking about potential hackathon ideas once the themes have been released.
Both online and in-person, we're hybrid this year!
Personal hygiene items (deodorant, toothbrush, etc), sleeping bag, laptop charger, and anything else you might need to stay at the venue for 36 hours. We will provide snacks and food for the entire event!
Any current high school, university, or recent graduate student can join. Follow us on social media to stay up-to-date with hackathon updates!
Yes, teams of up to 4 can work together at Hack the Hill.
Full details about the hackathon themes will not be released until a few days before the event. But here's a sneak peek about what they might involve: game development, hardware/embedded development, and web development!
