About Us

What is QuackHacks?

QuackHacks is the University of Oregon’s flagship hackathon. Our student-lead event brings together innovative students for 24 hours of coding, learning, and building. Hackathons are invention marathons concluded with a science fair and award show, and are a way to bring the community together to learn new skills, build amazing projects, and share ideas!
