About the Hackathon
36-hour hackathon hosted by the University of Kansas, where students can have the opportunity to innovate new ideas, discover different paths, and push the boundaries of technology
HackKU is the annual 36-hour hackathon hosted by students from the Association for Computing Machinery at the University of Kansas. Participants will get to spend the weekend learning and developing their programming skills while working on a new project, while also having the opportunity to attend workshops, interact with industry sponsors, receive mentorship, and participate in fun events. We’ll also have free swag and food all weekend, and lots of prizes! Work with teams of up to 4 people to create unique solutions to real-world problems. Students from all different backgrounds and experience levels are encouraged to join us and explore their interests.
