A hackathon is an amazing event where students come together to collaborate to turn crazy ideas into real projects. In the case of HackHPI for two consecutive days, students come together on HPI's campus in Potsdam, Germany to be creative, challenge the status quo, implement innovative ideas using code, gadgets and open data, create meaningful impact, and also to simply have a great time!
There are very few hackathons focusing on social issues; we want to fix that and give you the chance to change the world for the better by building applications that truly matter! You will also have the opportunity to get in touch with our awesome partners, slip into their shoes and solve real-world challenges using their APIs and expertise.
Yes, and that's quite a sure thing. We believe that Hackathons need the human contact that only in-person events can provide, and we're glad to announce that the HackHPI 2025 will be an in-presence only event!
Nope! HackHPI is completely free, and we provide you with food, drinks (and a lot of caffeine! :D) during the whole Hackathon. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide travel reimbursements.
This is an all-night Hackathon, meaning that we won't stop until the last one standing. We will provide rooms in which you can sleep or just rest, but you're required to bring your own sleeping bag and air mattress.
Take the S7 or RB 23 from Berlin Central Station ("Berlin Hauptbahnhof") towards Potsdam and exit at Potsdam Griebnitzsee.
Bring your laptop and a charger, comfortable clothes, and, above all, motivation to hack! You can dive into the topic of health in advance, but there will be introductory sessions as well.
