About
SBUHacks is Stony Brook University's largest yearly hackathon, a competition where teams of students come together and create innovative and themed projects from scratch. In previous years, we've brought together hundreds of students for hours of innovation, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
No experience is needed— whether you're a seasoned developer or those who's going to write their first line of code, SBUHacks is your chance to build something amazing, learn new skills, and connect with fellow creators.
We'll bring the pizza, swag, and prizes; you bring your ideas and enthusiasm.
What are you waiting for?
