About HenHacks

HenHacks is a beginner-friendly, social-good focused hackathon hosted on the University of Delaware' campus for all college students of any major. Our goal is to develop and enhance students' technical skills to help them become competitive applicants in technology-related careers. This 2026 event is our fourth iteration, and we're making it bigger and better than ever, allowing us to continue growing and innovating. Join us on Feb 28-March 1 for a weekend of ingenuity, technical prowess, social good, and fun!

What is a Hackathon?

A hackathon is an engaging event where individuals come together to collaboratively work on projects for a specified period of time, typically focusing on creating technical solutions based on a given prompt. HenHacks is a 24-hour social good hackathon, focused on finding technical solutions to a myriad of complex challenges various communities face. There is also food, games, workshops, and prizes available to all participants!
