In April 2015, CatHacks was the first national college hackathon in the state of Kentucky. This year, we're back for round six.
On April 4th, 2020, hackers will travel from colleges across the nation to the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
You'll have 24 hours to explore new technologies, meet talented students, and network with innovative tech companies. The food is on us, and so is the swag; CatHacks is completely free!
In order to attend CatHacks, you must be a student at a post-secondary university. We accept high school students on a case by case basis. Even if you don't have much experience, you should still apply!
We're offering travel reimbursement to as many participants as possible. Let us know if you need some help, and we'll do our best to get you here.
By applying, you agree to the Code of Conduct.
MLH will be providing their Hardware Lab. This means that there will be tons of hardware to check out and use at the event! Arduinos, Oculus DK, Myo, Pebble, and Laptops are only a few of the items that will be available. (A vaild driver's license is required to rent hardware.)
CatHacks would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. These companies allow us to keep CatHacks a free and open event for our participants, who value the opportunity to network with industry leaders.
Interested in sponsoring CatHacks VI?
Due to the risk associated with COVID-19 coronavirus, for the health and safety of our participants, CatHacks VI is postponed until Fall 2020.
