Welcome to the Swamp!

Swamphacks VI is 36 hours of learning, coding, and creativity. For a whole weekend, over 650 students nationwide come together as developers, engineers, and designers. We welcome all people with a desire to build and learn by making.

Experience software development in sunny Gainesville, Florida through our hackathon! No experience is necessary to participate; we welcome everyone regardless of year in school. From seasoned mentors to intriguing workshops, Swamphacks VI supports all student activities and encourages “outside the box” thinking. Join us to meet some of the brightest minds in the South and have an awesome weekend in our swamp.

This year, Swamphacks VI aims to make our event more sustainable by reducing our waste and carbon output. Our goal is to use more compostable material, encourage our Sponsors to travel sustainably, and provide hackers with eco-friendly swag.

What is a hackathon?

A hackathon is a weekend long event where students come together to build computer science projects. Hackathons teach students about software development by letting them make their own products. They create a space for students to learn new skills and eliminate coding road-blocks. Swamphacks VI provides resources such as hardware, workshops, and mentors to support all student endeavors.
