About the Hackathon

Fawning Over Innovation

DeerHack 2026 is the brainchild of a small team to unleash the potential of young innovators through a 48-hour hackathon in which developers, designers, students, entrepreneurs, educators, and mentors collaborate to create solutions that tackle real-world problems. When people from many backgrounds collaborate, they do more than merely do good, they become a force for global change. This year, DeerHack introduces a dedicated Environment Track, encouraging participants to build innovative solutions addressing sustainability, climate change, and ecological challenges.
