HackPrinceton Fall 2026

A hackathon is a marathon software product creation event. At HackPrinceton, you can look forward to guest speakers, helpful workshops, skilled mentors, fun games, and great swag.

HackPrinceton will take place in person at Princeton University from November 13 through November 15, 2026. It will include 36 hours of hacking, events, speakers, social events, and more.

Any undergraduate or graduate student at any university in the world can apply.

Beyond the learning opportunities and mentorship workshops, HackPrinceton is a great place to meet other hackers who are as passionate and enthusiastic about building as you are. We will also have swag, prizes, and a few surprises for attendees.

HackPrinceton Fall 2026 will be an entirely in-person experience.

No. You do not need a team to apply or participate. Teams may have up to four members, and you will have a chance to meet other hackers at team formation events.

Some admitted hackers may receive a travel stipend that covers part of their travel expenses. We suggest looking for funding through your university if you do not receive one.

There is no cost to apply or participate in HackPrinceton. We want to make the event accessible to everyone who is interested.
