Although definitions and connotations may vary, at sunhacks, a hackathon means a 24-36 hour prototyping marathon. sunhacks is a 24-hour hackathon this Fall! Work on software or hardware solutions to real-world problems, innovative projects, or anything you can think of, no holds barred (within our code of conduct, of course).

Any student above the age of 18 is welcome to participate! Our event is fully in-person, so the event may be capacity-limited. Be sure to register early to secure your spot! If you've recently graduated, you can still participate within one year of your graduation date.

Max team size is four (4), minimum team size is one (1, meaning you!). Make sure each of your team members 1) register to attend and 2) when it comes time to submit the project all members are included in the submission. Only one project submission is allowed per participant.

sunhacks is free to play--err, hack.

As an MLH member event, all attendees must follow the MLH code of conduct.

Hey friend, we understand those feelings. You are absolutely welcome and encouraged to attend our hackathon. The unknown is daunting, but we're here to help. Many of our organizers have felt the same way too, and it's because we know how you feel that we've made sunhacks the way it is today: an open community that empowers and supports each other. Our mentors look forward to your questions--no question is too simple. Welcome new hacker, we look forward to seeing you :)

sunhacks likes to challenge the status quo as well as also provide its hackers with the freedom to innovate. We don't use tracks, but we do make sure we can accommodate the wide variety of ideas our participants can have! so come, be creative, and challenge yourself to think outside the track!

We do have prizes! but what they are... Well you'll have to attend won't you? ;)
