DandyHacks ‘24
Coming Soon In Fall
What is DandyHacks?
DandyHacks is the University of Rochester’s annual 42-hour long
hackathon. In Fall 2024, it will be our 12th anniversary, and we’re so excited
to once again hold this amazing milestone in-person! As a fully student-led
organization at a tier 1 research university, we embody our school’s
values, encouraging participants to question the world and learn more.
DandyHacks is very beginner-friendly, and we welcome students from all
backgrounds and majors. Participating in DandyHacks is not just about
winning; it is about collaborating with peers, learning from mentors,
and gaining valuable experiences. We hope to see you there!
