Oct. 23rd-25th
36 hours
DemonHacks is a 36-hour hackathon hosted by DePaul University that encourages students to investigate new ideas and develop new solutions. Teams of college students will work together to develop a hardware or software hack that they will present to judges for a chance to win prizes! If you have any questions check out the FAQ Section or feel free to email us.
Applications are closed! Please apply next year :)
Due to COVID-19, DemonHacks will be hosted online via Discord and Twitch for the safety of all our participants and organizers!
Of course! Hackathons are a great place to learn new technologies, meet new people, network with sponsors, add something to your resume, and hack something cool ;)
A hackathon is an invention marathon. Students come together to build cool software & hardware hacks over 24-48 hours. It’s very beginner friendly.
Nothing, attending a hackathon is free!
Though the details are still in development, we'll have an opportunity for hackers to connect with other hackers on Discord and/or Zoom. Teams are limited to four hackers.
Due to COVID-19, some swag will be digital (such as wallpapers). Any physical swag will be mailed.
Yes. All participants must follow the MLH Code of Conduct.
