HooHacks

HooHacks

HooHacks aims to promote a culture of problem solving, innovation, and community at UVA. We seek to empower the hacker community at UVA, in Virginia, and beyond. Our goal is to build this community by encouraging communications and interactions between all academic programs and concentrations through our annual Ideathon, as well as hosting our annual hackathon, HooHacks. At our Ideathon, engineering and entrepreneurial students come together to tackle modern problems and generate practical solutions. At HooHacks, students can test their skills as they compete against each other to produce mobile, web, or hardware hacks that can become fully fledged products. Judges, mentors, and recruiters from our various corporate sponsors are able to see the talent the University of Virginia has to offer and our students can pursue their passions further by getting summer internships or full-time employment. We welcome students of different skill sets and experience levels to join us in our mission. Join HooHacks to meet some amazing people, put on events that are known across the nation, and be a part of something bigger!
