HackRPI 2025 is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's 12th annual intercollegiate hackathon hosted by students for students. Starting at noon on Saturday, November 15th, teams of 1-4 people have 24 hours to build and submit projects relating to our theme, Retro vs. Modern. After submitting their projects, participants demonstrate their projects in front of a panel of professors, industry professionals, and fellow students.
Retro vs. Modern: In a world where nostalgia meets innovation, our 12th annual hackathon, Retro vs Modern, invites creators to explore the contrasts and possibilities between the past and the future. Join us in shaping the future through a creative lens that honors the old while embracing the new.
Our goal is to inspire and challenge innovators, creators, developers, and entrepreneurs in New York's Tech Valley and beyond. All students from all schools are welcome to participate, regardless of their major or experience level. Whether you're a seasoned hacker or a first-time participant, HackRPI is the perfect opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people, and have fun!
