YHack is Yale's premier hackathon. This year marks our 10th annual Yale Hackathon! Taking place between March 29-31, 2024, we invite all students passionate about innovation, learning, and social impact to code, create, and collaborate on Yale’s campus. Expect a myriad of spectacular rewards, educational workshops, renowned guest speakers, and engaging activities throughout the event!
