HackRPI 2026

about this event

HackRPI 2026 is getting ready for take off! Join us for an exciting 24-hour hackathon where we prepare to bring innovations to new heights. The event will take place on November 7th - 8th at the Darrin Communications Center (DCC) on RPI's campus in Troy, New York. This year's theme, "In the Clouds," aims to challenge you to design projects that take flight---whether literally or figuratively. Develop projects using emerging technologies or elevate existing solutions to greater heights. The sky's the limit!

HackRPI is perfect for all sorts of students, from seasoned developers to complete beginners. We welcome all skill levels, so even if you've never written a line of code, there's a place for you here! Feel free to come alone and find your team here, or bring a group of up to 4 members total. Either way, you'll have access to mentors, workshops, and a collaborative environment designed to help you succeed.

Our event features high-quality workshops led by professors, sponsors, and RPI students, covering the ins and outs of the skills you'll need to bring your ideas to life. Whether you're looking to learn something new or improve your existing skills, these workshops are tailored to support participants at all levels.

Don't miss out on the chance to turn your ideas into reality, connect with like-minded individuals and compete for amazing prizes. HackRPI 2026 is simply the place to be!
