A hackathon is like a creative marathon for tech enthusiasts! DAHacks is great for first timers or returners looking to experience inspiring guest speakers, helpful workshops, tons of skilled mentors, and, of course, fun games and cool swag.

DAHacks is from Friday, October 25th from 11 AM - 10 PM to Saturday, October 26th from 7:30 AM - 8:30 PM at De Anza College in the Science Center Building SC1102. This is not an overnight event.

Applications are due on Monday, October 14th, 2024 at 11:59 PM PDT.

DAHacks is only open to Foothill and De Anza College students. We welcome FHDA students from all backgrounds and skill levels to join us for two days of learning, creating, and fun!

No need to break the bank to join in on the hacking fun! DAHacks is absolutely FREE to attend. We believe in making tech innovation accessible to everyone.

Yes! There is a total prize pool of over $15,000 from our sponsors!

Don’t sweat! DAHacks welcomes hackers of all levels, whether you are a coding prodigy or just dipping your toes into the world of hacking. We will have workshops and mentors to help you along the way, so you can learn, create, and have a blast! Here is a link to our hacking kit to get you started.

Teams can have between 1 and 4 members. You can either form a team beforehand and come to the event or make teammates at the event. We will be having a team-making session. Note that teams must be formed by the opening ceremony at 12 PM.

No team? No problem! Leading up to our event, you can meet new people through our hacker Discord. We will have team formation events at the beginning of the hackathon geared towards helping you find people to work with.

Bring your student ID, laptop, chargers, personal hygiene items, any materials necessary for your project, and a positive attitude!

No. All projects must begin after the event starts. Ongoing projects cannot be submitted for prizes.
