Upcoming Hackathons
Pick an event, reserve your seat, and we’ll guide you from idea to demo.
What You’ll Walk Away With
This is not a talk. You build something real, under time pressure, with real support.
Working Demo
Leave with a project you can show in interviews, applications, or your portfolio.
Mentor Support
Get checkpoints, feedback, and fast help when you’re stuck or off-track.
Team Experience
Practice real collaboration: roles, commits, decisions, and delivery under a deadline.
Real Exposure
Present on demo day and get seen by peers, mentors, and sometimes sponsors.
You Won’t Build Alone
Mentors make the hackathon faster, clearer, and more rewarding—helping teams unblock, improve quality, and deliver a stronger demo and pitch.
Clear Judging Criteria
Teams are evaluated on impact and execution—not hype.
Problem Clarity
Define a real user need and why it matters.
Build Quality
Deliver a stable demo that works as promised.
User Experience
Make the product simple, clear, and usable.
Practicality
Show feasibility with realistic constraints and next steps.
Differentiation
Bring a fresh angle or smarter approach.
Pitch Strength
Communicate the story, value, and solution clearly.
Prizes note: Prize details vary by event and sponsor. Full details are shared before the hackathon begins.
Sponsorship That Delivers Real Value
Sponsoring a CODED hackathon gives you visibility, a talent pipeline, and real prototypes tied to real challenges.
Talent Pipeline
Meet builders who can collaborate and deliver under real deadlines.
Brand Trust
Show your organization actively investing in youth skills and digital growth.
Innovation Output
Get prototypes around a challenge, plus a post-event summary of outcomes.
Do I need experience to join a hackathon?
No. Many hackathons are beginner-friendly, and teams naturally balance skill levels. If you can learn fast and contribute, you belong—coding, design, data, or pitching.
Can I join solo, or do I need a team?
You can join solo. We support team matching at the start so you can form a team based on skills and interests. If you already have a team, you can register together.
What do we actually build during the hackathon?
You’ll build a working prototype around a theme or challenge—something you can demo. Most teams ship a simple product with a clear problem, core features, and a short pitch.
How does judging work?
Teams are judged on practical impact and execution—problem clarity, build quality, user experience, feasibility, differentiation, and pitch strength. Each event shares its full rules and criteria before kickoff.
What should I bring, and what do you provide?
Bring a laptop, charger, and readiness to build. We provide structure, mentor support, and a demo format—plus any event-specific tools, access, or resources shared before the event.
