Registration will open around mid-fall. Sign up for our email list to be notified when registration for HenHacks opens on our home page!

HenHacks will take place in Smith (Smith Hall, 18 Amstel Ave, Newark, DE 19716) and Gore Hall (Gore Hall, 114 The Green, Newark, DE 19716), which are connected by a sky bridge, on the University of Delaware's Campus. The event will kick off with registration and the Opening Ceremony in Smith Hall!

During the event, take the opportunity to visit the career expo and company-sponsored rooms that will be available! Remember to prepare your elevator pitch - introduce yourself, highlight your skills and interests, and express enthusiasm for the company. Don’t be afraid to share your hackathon project during any networking opportunities - it’s a great conversation starter and showcases your problem-solving abilities. 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the team at henhacksud@gmail.com prior to the event. During the hackathon, locate any volunteer or staff member identified by their distinctively colored T-shirts - they’ll all be happy to help! 

No, you don’t! Register individually, and you’ll have the freedom to create your own team before submissions are due. 

Don’t worry! We provide abundant resources and welcome the use of no-code tools and solutions. Your creativity is the key! 

HenHacks offers a stimulating environment to tackle cutting-edge problems, collaborate with peers, and acquire new skills. It’s an excellent opportunity to enhance your resume, attend informative workshops, and network with industry-leading companies! 

Not at all! While you can submit a hack in groups of 4, teams can be any size from 1 to 4 people. 

You can join our discord or meet and network with participants during the event! 

Everyone is welcome! We encourage participants of all backgrounds and skill levels to join - hackers, coders, creators, innovators, engineers, creative minds, and designers alike. 

No worries! Meet people at the event or join our discord to connect with participants beforehand. Many attendees come without teams, so it’s normal to form connections on the spot. 

That’s completely normal! Ideas often emerge during discussion with others. Brainstorming will surely spark creativity. 

HenHacks is designed for a positive and enjoyable experience. Volunteers and staff members, identifiable by different colored shirts, will be present to provide support ranging from event assistance to team mentorship. 

We’ve got you covered! Make sure to indicate your dietary accommodations on the registration form to ensure we can meet your needs. 

No experience is necessary! We offer ample support and resources for all participants, regardless of their hackathon or Computer Science background. 

Help desks will be stationed around the hacking area for both technical and non-technical support!

Unfortunately, projects can’t be initiated before the official start time to ensure a level playing field for all participants. 

No, you are free to come and go from the event as you please. Each team member needs to check in (in-person) at some point during the event for your submission to qualify, and your team will need to present your project during judging. All of your team members do not need to be present during judging so long as they have checked in for the event.

There are various opportunities aside from hacking to enjoy HenHacks, from networking with companies to attending informational workshops. 

For non-UD students, we will have rooming accommodations in Gore Hall. A mattress and blanket will be provided (don't forget to bring a pillow!). Of course, you may bring any of your own personal belongings that provide you comfort.
