Spin the globe · Flip through the deck · Track your applications
hackhq.dev (coming soon) 🚧 will turn this list into an interactive experience — every hackathon below, in-person and virtual, rendered on one living 3D map and updated daily.
- 🌍 3D Globe — spin an interactive globe and see where hackathons are happening around the world.
- 🃏 The Deck — flip through hackathons card-by-card to find your next build weekend.
- 🔎 Browse & Search — filter every listing by host, name, format, or location, with live counts for Open, Closing Soon, and Opens Soon.
- ⏱️ Smart Sort — closing-soon events surface first, then by nearest deadline.
- 📌 Track Your Applications — sign in to save hackathons and keep tabs on the ones you've applied to.
- 📊 Live Stats & Gallery — an at-a-glance snapshot of the scene, plus real photos from the community.
How it stays in sync. The globe, deck, and tracker read from
.github/scripts/listings.json; this README's table powers the/hackathonsbrowser. Built with Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS 4, Mapbox GL, and Clerk. Seeweb/README.mdto run it locally.
A snapshot of the list, updated automatically.
Important
A single, always-current list of hackathons worth your weekend. In-person, virtual, and hybrid — college, high-school, and open hackathons all in one place.
Hi, we're Jose Cruz, Vick Mahindru, Cai Zheng, Allyson Keightley, and Henry. We built this because hackathon listings are scattered across a dozen sites, Discords, and group chats, and half of them are already over by the time you find them. This one starts from zero and stays current.
Hackathons are the fastest way to build something real, meet your future team, and win prizes while you learn. Everything here is community-driven. If you find one, add it. Together we make the path clearer for everyone who comes after us.
To contribute — it takes 60 seconds:
- Open an issue and paste the hackathon URL
- A maintainer approves it
- It gets automatically added to the list
