Hackathon by the numbers
Upcoming
Hackathons + Bootcamps.
AgriTech Hack 2.0
Build technology for Liberian smallholder farmers. Returning for a second year, bigger.
Hackathons
36-48 hours. Strangers become teammates. Ideas become prototypes.
Our hackathons bring together developers, designers, business minds and domain experts to tackle a focused theme. You’ll get mentors, free meals, a comfortable place to work, and the energy of working alongside 50-150 other builders.
- Open to all skill levels – half our finalists are first-timers
- Mentors from our faculty + invited industry partners
- Cash prizes + post-hack incubation for top teams
Bootcamps
4-7 days. A topic. A live cohort. A working portfolio piece.
Bootcamps are short, intense and topic-focused. Best for working professionals who want to dive deep into a single skill – cloud, data, JavaScript or security – without committing to a full course.
- Live sessions with practitioners and recorded for review
- Daily labs and a final project on the last day
- Verified certificate of completion
The FinTech hack was my first time writing real code with strangers. We didn’t win – but I left with three new friends, a working prototype and the confidence to apply to the Software Certificate.
