Interested in building projects or connecting with people who actually want to create?

HACKNIGHT is where it starts. 🚀

We recently hosted a mini hackathon-style night where students teamed up, built ideas from scratch, and got a real feel for what hackathons are like—without the pressure.

If you’ve been sitting on an app idea or want to be part of something bigger (maybe even your first startup 👀), this is your sign.

Come through every Thursday at the Startup Center and start building.

Video Description:

This video highlights our recent HACKNIGHT, where students participated in a mini hackathon designed to give beginners a hands-on introduction to building real projects.

Participants collaborated in teams, brainstormed ideas, and started developing solutions—many focused on creating tools to support student clubs, nonprofits, and service organizations in their communities.

Throughout the event, attendees shared their project concepts, goals, and the impact they hope to make, showcasing the creativity and purpose behind each idea.

Whether you’re new to hackathons or looking to find a team, HACKNIGHT is all about learning, building, and connecting.
