An annual hackathon at UNC Chapel Hill. We bring together students from across the Southeast to build, hack, and deploy in one weekend. All skill levels welcome, first-timers especially!

HackNC is a weekend for students of all skill levels to broaden their talents. Your challenge is to make an awesome project in just 24 hours. You will have access to hands-on tech workshops, sponsor networking, and exciting talks about what's happening right now in CS and tech — not to mention all of the free food, shirts, stickers, and swag!
You don't need to be a senior computer science student with four internships to show up. HackNC is explicitly built for people who are still figuring it out. The best projects usually come from people who had no idea what they were doing on Friday night.
