Holy Hack is a 24h hackathon which can best be described as an “invention marathon”. Students who are interested in technology, or the business aspect of it, participate in a hackathon to learn, build and share their ideas in an enthusiastic and welcoming atmosphere. You can bring your ideas to life by programming software, building prototypes and also working out the business side of one of the cases given at the event, all in a team of 5 participants. Thus, not everyone in your team needs to know how to code!  

Since Holy Hack focuses on the business side as well, apart from working out a prototype, your team will also have to work out a business plan. Therefore, we advise you to have a balanced team of at least 2 developers and a business student.

NOTE 1: We'll only use this platform for grouping the projects together. If you want to participate in Holy Hack, you need to register via www.aftleuven.be/holy-hack/ . Only registering via Devpost does not mean you are registered for Holy Hack!

 

NOTE 2: This is a Belgian hackathon. In order to participate, you need to have a Belgian address as we will not send prizes abroad.

 

NOTE 3: We are not looking for mentors or judges.
