Hack University is powered by a coalition of student tech organizations at FIU.
Hack University exists to close the gap between education and industry. We give every learner — regardless of major, school, or background — access to real hackathons, startup mentorship, and a global builder community. What started at Florida International University has grown into a worldwide initiative, powered by seven tech organizations working together to make it happen.
All majors welcome — no coding experience required.
