Event Description
HacktoberxISTENITH - Where Ideas Become Reality
Got an idea? Bring it to life in a single, electric day of building. From 11 AM to 7 PM, HacktoberxISTENITH brings together builders, designers, and first-time hackers for a hands-on hackathon fueled by code, creativity, and community.
Team up, brainstorm, and build something real - with mentors guiding you through roadblocks, hands-on workshops sharpening your skills, and sponsors bringing exciting perks, tools, and challenges to the table.
Whether you're shipping your tenth project or writing your very first "Hello, World!" - this is your space to learn fast, build boldly, and connect with a community that geeks out over the same things you do.
So grab your laptop, charge your curiosity, and get ready to hack, create, and celebrate - all in one unforgettable day.
Proudly part of the Major League Hacking (MLH) Fall 2026 Hackathon Season.
