Welcome to LovHack Season 3
LovHack is back for Season 3.
From September 26 to October 4, 2026, student developers, designers, founders, and creators will come together online to turn ideas into real projects.
Whether this is your first hackathon or you have been building for years, LovHack is designed to give you the space, tools, and community to build something you are proud of.
What is LovHack?
LovHack is a student-focused hackathon community built around one simple idea: build something real.
You do not need to arrive with a startup, a polished idea, or years of coding experience. You can start with a problem you care about and build from there.
Projects can include:
-
AI and machine learning
-
Web and mobile applications
-
Productivity tools
-
Education technology
-
Developer tools
-
Social impact projects
-
Games and creative technology
-
Automation
-
Accessibility
-
New startup ideas
-
Anything else you believe is worth building
The hackathon is intentionally open-ended so teams can focus on problems they actually care about.
Why Participate?
During LovHack Season 3, participants can:
-
Build and launch a new project
-
Work individually or with a team
-
Experiment with new AI and developer tools
-
Compete for prizes and sponsor challenges
-
Meet other student builders
-
Receive access to sponsor tools, credits, and resources
-

Season 3 will also include opportunities from our sponsors and partners, including special prizes for teams that build creative projects using selected sponsor technologies.
Who Can Join?
LovHack is designed for students and young builders from different backgrounds and experience levels.
Beginners are welcome.
You do not need to have participated in a hackathon before. Designers, developers, product builders, entrepreneurs, and students who simply have an idea are all encouraged to participate.
