Hacker Olympics 2012

Join us in San Francisco
for the most epic
University Hackathon ever!

Participating Universities

Information

We are looking for the top developers at your school to qualify for an invitation to compete for over $150k in travel and prizes in the biggest, baddest University Hackathon ever held and a chance to code alongside some of the best developers in the world. Teams will also get a chance to meet some of the top established technology companies as well as the hottest, emerging start-ups in Silicon Valley (e.g. AirBnB). Let them pitch you why they rock as much as you do!

The goal is to construct a team of the top developers at your school to compete together in the national finals (Jan 11-13th 2013). Grades won’t get you into this event! Only coding skills matter. In search of the best hackers, we are puting on a Code Olympiad to help select the finalists. Get together. Eat. Drink. And try to crack the code challenges.

What’s going to happen in San Francisco?

Over 100 students from across the country will compete in a weekend long hackathon. You’ll be coding along side CTO’s and top engineers from the hottest tech startups like AirBNB, TuneIn, Stripe, and 30 others. At the end of the hackathon, the winning team will be taken to a VIP dinner with Silicon Valley’s top Tech Entrepreneurs.

What do the hackers get out of this?

It is going to be a whirlwind expenses paid adventure to Silicon Valley. Code alongside the smartest engineers on the planet. Party with awesome people. Meet other awesome students from across the country. Maybe even land a job at a top Silicon Valley company.
