HopHacks Fall 2026

HopHacks is the annual hackathon hosted at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. This event brings engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs together to explore new ideas, compete for prizes, and create amazing applications. For 36 hours, students work in teams of up to 4 to bring a software or hardware idea to life.

Teams start working on their hacks (at 9:00 PM) after the Friday evening kickoff event and continue working until Sunday morning (8:45 AM). All submissions MUST be made on Devpost. All submissions must be presented IN PERSON at HopHacks!

All of the prizes, including sponsored prizes, will be judged and announced at the opening ceremony. See https://hophacks.com for more information.
