Major League Hacking 2024 Hackathon Season

What is HackRice?

HackRice is Rice University's annual hackathon. It brings together over four hundred of the brightest minds in the country to develop & showcase their creative and entrepreneurial talents.

Participants form teams of up to 4 to work on a project — typically software, and sometimes hardware — in an environment designed for collaboration.

Teams showcase projects after 36 hours of hacking. This is an excellent opportunity for students to build a network of creators, receive internship & job offers from world-class sponsors, and learn modern tools & systems.

More information about HackRice 13 will be coming soon!
