Hackathon Linz 2026 im Wissensturm Linz

Work in Progress

Tracks

At the Hackathon we work on our own ideas in small groups. But don't worry if you don't have an idea or team yet. Finding new ideas and joining together to teams is part of the hackathon. You can also work on a project we suggest.

We will prepare small projects in different areas to get you started and show you what can be done in one day!

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not a programmer (yet). Can I still come?

Of course! The hackathon is designed to support newcomers with their first programming projects, but also to give experienced programmers* the chance to spend a day working on focused projects. We would like to FINTAs from different backgrounds and disciplines, as a hackathon requires a wide range of skills - from software development and copywriting to UI/UX design.

In three of our four tracks, we will provide instructions that explain the first steps in the topic and enable you to implement your own ideas. Our mentors* will be at your side throughout the day. Just bring a good mood, motivation to learn new things and fun!

I have never participated in a hackathon before. Can I still participate?

Of course! There is a first time for everything.

Is this a womens only event?

Not only! Our hackathon is a safe space for groups that are normally underrepresented in IT, which is why we invite all IT-interested FINTA*s aged 15 and over to our hackathon.

How much does it cost to attend?

Thanks to our generous partners and sponsors, this hackathon is absolutely free of charge for participants. We will provide the infrastructure and catering to get you through the day.
However, since there are only limited places, we ask you to register reliably online.

What do I have to bring?

Please bring your laptop and charging devices. If you don't have a suitable laptop, you are welcome to borrow one - just let us know when you register and we will prepare a loaner for you.

Bring a lot of motivation, joy and enthusiasm!

Who are the mentors?

Our mentors are people who work in and around IT - including as Java or web developers or data scientists. They will be on site all day to help you with any questions or problems you may have.

Do I have to come as a team?

You can come to the hackathon alone or in a team. However, we ask you to register individually so that we have a good overview of the number of participants.

If you don't have a team yet, that's no problem at all! We will find groups at the beginning of the day of the hackathon.
