A hackathon is a creative and social event where students come together, share ideas and build cool software & hardware hacks during 48 hours. You learn immensely, interact with startups & companies and get to meet like-minded people from around the world. Don’t worry - it’s very beginner friendly!

UniHack is a new international hackathon for students, with a focus on solving civic problems. Its second edition will take place online, on 20-22 November 2020.

Any high school or University student is eligible to attend, regardless of age.

Yes, there is no participation fee.

Teams are limited to a maximum number of 5 people.

We can help you join one on the day of the event, at the latest. There will be a team forming channel on Discord, where you can announce your availability and check others’ needs. If your team is already complete, you can skip it and go straight to work.

For now, just register individually. You will be able to create or join a team after the event begins.

Any software or hardware project you want! Moreover, we encourage you to find and implement a solution for a civic problem.

Only projects with fresh code are eligible for winning any prize. You can build on existing frameworks, however only your contribution will be judged.
