Event Description
Join us for a Hacktoberfest Hack Day at GDG USICT on October 30, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Spend the day exploring ideas, working on a project, and learning alongside others. You can build something new, make progress on an idea you already have, or team up with others and see where your shared curiosity takes you. It is a chance to exchange knowledge, try out new approaches, and enjoy the process of making things together.
You do not need to be an experienced developer to take part. Whether you are just starting out, have worked on projects before, or simply want to meet people who enjoy creating with technology, you are welcome. Bring your ideas, curiosity, and willingness to collaborate. We look forward to spending the day hacking together!
