faq

how do i find hackathons near me in the US?

start with the city pages (new york, san francisco bay area, boston, seattle, los angeles), then this page for everything else in the united states. online hackathons are on the online page.

are US university hackathons only for that school's students?

many welcome students from other schools and some offer travel reimbursement, while others are limited to enrolled students. the host's page states eligibility.

why do some listings show an event date instead of a deadline?

some sources, such as MLH, publish the event's start date rather than a registration cutoff. those listings are labelled with the date the event starts.
