Hackathons are awesome events full of creativity, technology and passionate tech-related students collaborating and creating. Attendees work in teams to create apps, games, robots… literally anything you want to build & learn about!

HackUPC is the first student hackathon in Spain. This will be our fifth edition with 700 awesome hackers and lots of side activities to learn new technologies, meet interesting people and have fun. Come make history with us!

HackUPC is free for all accepted hackers. We will provide you WiFi, meals, swag, and workspace.

Web, mobile, hardware, anything is on the table. Projects will be judged based on creativity, technical difficulty, polish and usefulness by a panel of industry judges and UPC faculty.
