Hack University Worldwide Initiative · From Florida International University to the World
We're a community-led startup incubator built on one belief — the next generation of founders, engineers, and industry leaders shouldn't have to wait until after graduation to start building. Across 12 annual hackathons, 80+ technical events, hands-on mentorship, and real-world projects, we take builders from first idea to first launch. Open to every university, every major, and learners 16+ ages 13+. No prerequisites. No gatekeeping. Just build.
Every builder moves through the same path — build a prototype, get matched with mentors, demo your work, then launch it to the world.
Turn an idea into a working prototype during a hackathon cohort.
Get matched with industry mentors, judges, and peers.
Show your work at demo day in front of the community.
Ship it — prizes, recognition, and next steps toward a startup.
Every cohort ends in a demo day. Browse the projects, teams, and winners that came out of our hackathons.

Hack University exists to close the gap between education and industry. We give every learner — regardless of major, school, or background — access to real hackathons, startup mentorship, and a global builder community. What started at Florida International University has grown into a worldwide initiative, powered by seven tech organizations working together to make it happen.
All majors welcome - no coding experience required.
