Frequently Asked Questions

Some common questions you may have about WinHacks, or hackathons in general

What is a Hackathon?

To put it simply, hackathons combine the two words: hacking and marathon. Participants will get the chance to form teams of 1-4 members and bring a project idea to life! However, they only have 36 hours to accomplish this. Students will receive mentorship, learn about new job opportunities, and get some cool swag!

Can I Work On My Hack Before the Event?

We follow the Major League Hacking guidelines, which prohibit students from bringing and continuing a project that they have already worked on. Your final project should be new and only built during the weekend of WinHacks.

WHAT IF I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A HACKATHON BEFORE?

There's always a first time for everything, right? We highly encourage individuals with various levels of experience to apply to WinHacks. WinHacks is a hackathon where individuals from various disciplines, majors, and backgrounds are encouraged to come out and participate.

Who Can Participate?

WinHacks applications are open to students from across the world. Whether you are a freshman or completing your PhD, we want you to apply! We will also be accepting high school students!
