Ask HN: Are there any hackathons for non-students and non-graduate-students?

• smeyer 12y ago
  Yes. I see lots of hackathons all the time that don't care about student status. Have you tried to find them in your area and failed?

  Location context would also help in this situation, I'm sure there are local hackathons that'd allow anyone. Also, make sure you check out the Startup Digest (http://startupdigest.com http://startupdigest.com) for your location to see what hackathons are happening.

  There is far too many hackathons for non-students, such as AngelHack, BattleHack, Startup Weekend (arguable to whether an hackathon) amongst many more. A lot of student hackathons accept dropouts too on a case-by-case basis. But there's hackathons for all :)

  Check meetup.com, challenge post, and hacker league. Hackathons are taking over the world.

    I completely forgot about Hacker League! I must have unsubscribed because majority of the events were for students. I might check them out again. Ive never heard of ChallengePost, thanks for the suggestion

  If you're in the Chicago area, you might be interested in an upcoming civic hackathon that we're hosting. http://drinkndev.com http://drinkndev.com
