Welcome to CornHacks 2022! The "theme" of the hackathon is retro but projects of any type are encouraged!

CornHacks aims to bring some of the most talented developers from around the Midwest to join in a weekend full of hacking. Hosted at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, participants will code all day and night to be judged by industry professionals and compete for several prizes.

CornHacks 2022 will operate as a hybrid event in that you will have the opportunity to either attend in person or virtually. Note that to officially register, you will need to complete our official registration form.
