We're huge - and growing

PennApps is the top college hackathon in the country. Last Spring we saw over 100 teams present their hacks, with over 450 students coming from more than 30 schools.

40 hours of hacking

The only thing you'll need to worry about when you get here is hacking. We'll take care of the rest: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, (energy) drinks, some awesome PennApps and sponsor swag, a place to sleep - all free.
