hackUMBC 2026

about this event

Claim your glory at hackUMBC 2026 from September 26th - 27th (In-Person) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County!

hackUMBC is a 24-hour hackathon for students of all skill levels! Over one unforgettable weekend, you'll embark on an epic project, join forces with new allies, and learn from hands-on workshops and demos from our sponsors and presenters! Just like any great quest, there will be plenty of loot, treasure, and armor to take home!

More than a hackathon, hackUMBC is about forging, connecting, and conquering legendary challenges together! The ideas you build will continue to echo through the realm long after the weekend ends!

All you need is a laptop and your sharpest wit! We'll provide the castle, the feast, and the glory!
