BigRed//Hacks is Cornell’s largest student-run hackathon organization, bringing together students from across the country and around the world. Our mission is to provide hackers with a foundation to create projects that go beyond what they can build in an academic setting. Forty-eight hours, hundreds of participants, workshops, networking events, and thousands of dollars in prizes on the line, we encourage builders to go beyond convention and create something truly innovative to present to judges and peers.

Support our cause!

With your support, we can provide essential resources that make BigRed//Hacks possible. Your generosity directly enhances the hacker experience and helps us fund hacker meals, WiFi, hosting websites, travel reimbursements, prizes, and more. With your contribution, we’ll be able to welcome more students, offer greater support to first-time hackers, and create an even more inspiring, inclusive, and impactful environment for all participants.

As a registered student organization, we are committed to equal access to all of our programs and do not discriminate based on any protected identity status.
