Hacktoberfest Hack Day Kathmandu
Hacktoberfest 2026
P84M+7QG, Maiti Devi Marg, Kathmandu, Bagmati Province 44600 Sunway College Kathmandu, Bagmati Province 44600 Nepal
Event Description
It's a one-day hackathon on October 10th, 2026 at Sunway College,Maitidevi — Kathmandu's local event for Hacktoberfest 2026, a global open-source celebration.
Throughout the day, there's a mix of activities to keep things fun and engaging — a virtual conference session with talks from people in the industry, hands-on hacking time where teams build their own projects, and fun mini-events and games running alongside it all. It's less about sitting and listening, and more about building, playing, and having a good time with other developers.
Good projects that come out of the day also get a chance at incubation support afterward, so the best ideas don't just end when the event does.
At the end of the day, there are demos and prizes for the best projects.
It's free to join, and open to students and early-career developers from across the Kathmandu Valley.
