About This Event

UNIHACK is Australia and New Zealand's premier student hackathon, now in its 13th year. Over 48 hours, teams of university students design, build, and pitch a working prototype to a panel of judges.

There is no mandatory theme — teams can build websites, mobile apps, video games, hardware solutions, or anything else they can imagine. All skill levels are welcome.

The event features mentors, tech talks, sponsor challenges, and a Discord community. Past participants have gone on to work at Meta, Canva, AWS, and Google.

UNIHACK is a non-profit organisation run entirely by dedicated volunteers. Each year, it welcomes tertiary students from across Australia and New Zealand to collaborate, learn, and build.
