HooHacks is a team of UVA students who run HooHacks, Virginia's biggest hackathon and one of the 50 biggest collegiate hackathons in the US. HooHacks also plans Ideathon, a tech entrepeneurship networking event. Our goal is to make learning and using software development in UVA and other colleges more accessible and fun!
No coding experience? No problem. We have industry experts and experienced students hosting workshops and tech talks perfect for beginners and advanced students interested in exploring different topics.
We have mentors readily available for one-on-one help with your project and tons of resources. Grab some friends or meet new people and build something cool!
HooHacks has free food, exciting speakers, free swag from company sponsors, and tons of fun activities. Meet some new people and enjoy a Smash Bros. tournament, midnight yoga, and great food!
There is absolutely no cost for attending UVA's hackathon! We'll provide the resources for you to participate comfortably.
A hackathon is a 24-hour tech event for teams of students to learn new skills, build cool tech projects, and meet tons of other students and tech professionals. There's food, awesome workshops, and super cool swag. Best of all — it's completely free!
At our event, we expect all hackers to be respectful of each other and follow the rules laid out by MLH. Read more here.
All current undergraduate, graduate, and high school students at least 18 years of age may attend HooHacks. No coding experience is necessary! Non-STEM majors, first-time hackers, and beginner coders are welcomed and encouraged to join us!
If you are planning to compete for a prize, you may be in a team of 1-4 people. If you don't have one yet, no worries! We will have a team formation workshop before hacking begins.
February 25! Make sure to sign up!
