UQCS Hackathon 2026

The biggest event of the year is back and better than ever! UQCS Hackathon 2026 is your chance to bring your ideas to life, build something incredible, win amazing prizes, meet new people and create unforgettable memories.

Whether you are a hackathon veteran or attending your very first hackathon, everyone is welcome regardless of skill and experience. We'll be hosting team matching beforehand to help you find teammates.

New to hackathons? No problem! We will be running a 'How to Hackathon' talk where we will cover what to expect, share useful tips and make sure you are set up for success.

We've got you covered with free meals and snacks throughout the weekend, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can focus on your building.
