Hack&Roll is NUS Hackers' annual 24-hour hackathon, and the largest student-run hackathon in Singapore. In the spirit of hacking, we celebrate not just the most useful products, but also reward projects that are "awesome but useless" and for factors such as sheer overall coolness.

It will be happening at RC4-CAPT Dining Hall, on 17 and 18 January 2026. It is completely free to attend, and students from all levels are welcome.

There are no limits or themes to the hacks.

Registration, along with more details about the event, can be found at https://hacknroll.nushackers.org/.

Requirements

Build anything you want. Hardware projects are more than welcome!

To be eligible for prizes, remember to opt in for judging via the participant's dashboard by 11:30AM on 18 January 2026 (Day 2).
