Tech@NYU · 2026–27
A hackathon series bringing together students, alumni, and industry mentors across NYC. Dive into a sprint built to turn an idea into something real.
About Buildathon
We immerse university builders in technical challenges backed by real mentorship and prizes that reward what's actually shipped — not just pitches.
Buildathon fosters a community for NYU students to bond over real product work. We serve as a proving ground for NYU's artists, makers, and hackers to build together, learn new skills, and push what a weekend project can turn into.
One of NYC's largest student-led hackathons, Buildathon grew out of Startup Week into an event of its own. We've partnered with companies like HOF Capital, NVIDIA, and Manus to run judging, workshops, and mentor hours on real technical challenges.
