OUR MISSION

Bring an idea, get 12 hours to build it, and show what you made by the end of the day. No themes, no required tracks — just a room full of builders, free food, mentors, and the clock.

WHY WE'RE UNIQUE

Dublin Hacx is Dublin's very first Dublin Hacx — a single-day, 12-hour hackathon built by students, for students. It's run out of the Emerald Hacking & Coding Club at Emerald High School, not a company or a university. That means every dollar sponsors put in goes straight to meals, swag, and prizes for 170 hackers, and every sponsor gets a direct line to the students actually building. There are no themes and no boxes to fit inside — just a working demo by 8pm.
