Hacktech 2022

Hacktech is Caltech's premier intercollegiate hackathon: for 36 hours, nearly 500 awesome student hackers will identify and build innovative, technological solutions to solve problems in a variety of disciplines.

Any undergraduate or graduate students from anywhere in the world. We admit high school students (must be over 18 years old) on a case-by-case basis, and also welcome beginners - Hacktech is meant to be a learning experience! We want you to come here to have fun and leave having learned something.

At the event, you can submit a project as a team of up to four members. Make sure that all of your team members submit an application! If you don't have a team before the event, don't fret! We will help you find fellow hackers to work with once you arrive.

Absolutely anything you want - websites, apps, hardware, you name it. We encourage you to go above and beyond the typical software project and make something that combines software with finance / medicine / electronics / science!

It's absolutely free! We hope to provide swag and prizes without any cost for our hackers.

There are a few things we don't encourage; you should refer to the MLH Code of Conduct here for some guidelines to follow. Also, be smart - don't use/bring anything that you obviously shouldn't, including: alcohol, open flames, firearms, katanas, candy canes, maces, bassoons, etc.

Applications will open in late January. Please click the "Receive Updates" button to stay connected!
