Questions

So who runs the hackathons?

The hackathons that we partner with typically have their own organizing team. We serve as the middle man, connecting the nonprofit to the hackathon.

Can I get service hours?

Yes, because you are building a project for real 501(c)3 nonprofits, you can get service hours for your work.

Who can participate?

If you can participate in the hackathon we are partnered with, you can participate in the Code for Cause track.

How do I get notified when a hackathon is happening?

Join our email list and we'll send you an email whenever we partner with a new hackathon!

Who are the judges?

The judge panel will vary from hackathon to hackathon, but they will typically be a mix of nonprofit representatives and hackathon organizers.

What happens after the hackathon?

After the hackathon, we'll connect you with the nonprofit to continue working on the project if you'd like. This is great for earning service hours and recommendation letters!
