QuackHacks is a student-run hackathon hosted at the University of Oregon, where students come together to learn and collaborate on technical projects. Open to all majors and experience levels, participants spend a weekend turning ideas into real projects while exploring new technologies, attending workshops, and connecting with other innovators. Whether you are coding your first project or your tenth, QuackHacks is a place to experiment, grow your skills, and create something you can add to your portfolio while enjoying free food, merch, and a community passionate about building.
QuackHacks gave me the chance to apply what I learned in class to build something real. By the end of the weekend, my team had a project we were proud to add to our portfolios.
I walked in unsure what I could contribute, but the collaborative environment made it easy to learn and try new things. I left with new skills, new friends, and a strong sense of community.
As someone interested in entrepreneurship, I was nervous about my lack of coding skills. But my team combined business ideas with technical skills to build something meaningful which is something I never would have experienced in a normal class.

Our mission is to create a space where students from any background can come together to innovate, learn, and collaborate. QuackHacks encourages interdisciplinary teams where technical skills, creativity, and curiosity combine to build something new. We aim to give students an experience that goes beyond the classroom by helping them apply what they know, develop tangible portfolio projects, strengthen their professional networks, and gain experiences they can leverage in their job search. Ultimately, we strive to build a supportive community where students can learn from one another and continue creating beyond our event.
