United Hacks serves as the flagship hackathon organized by Hack United, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiration, education, and collaboration among the next generation of innovators. Our primary aim in this hackathon is to provide a semi-competitive event where participants can unleash their creative potential while promoting inclusivity and accessibility. During the hackathon, we will offer a range of workshops, ensuring that participants can learn and acquire new skills. Regardless of your experience level, whether you have never written a line of code or are a seasoned programmer, you are more then welcome to join us.
This hackathons theme is Mental Health! It is not mandatory to submit a project relating to mental health, as there will be prizes for a general track as well. In addition to these two main tracks, we also offer awards for various miscellaneous categories.
