Join us for a week-long hackathon where students design, prototype, and launch solutions to mission-driven challenge briefs curated by DVHacks mentors. Teams choose the prompts that match their interests, collaborate with peers, and showcase their builds to industry judges. After two packed cohorts (Jan 30-Feb 2, 2025 and Aug 30-Sep 8, 2025), we're leveling up again in 2026.
January 17th - February 1st, 2026 • Virtual Event • Prizes TBA
Explore curated challenge briefs across climate, education, civic tech, and more—then pick the one that excites your team.
Students register on Devpost, assemble their squad, and plan their sprint based on skills and availability.
Teams prototype, iterate, and deliver demos that highlight impact, usability, and technical depth.
Jan 30-Feb 2, 2025 • Global, high-school-only cohort with 90 students building and demoing their first DVHacks projects.
Aug 30-Sep 8, 2025 • Global open cohort with 230 builders of all ages collaborating virtually over nine days.
