Learn
Workshops for every level, starting from your very first line of code.
Our vision
HackTulane brings high school and college students across the South together to learn, build, and connect. Launching at Tulane University, HackTulane brings a proven hackathon tradition to the South. Founded by experienced organizers who built premier student hackathons in the Midwest, we are creating a year-round home in New Orleans for students to learn, build, and connect. It’s a long-term commitment to growing the next generation of builders in New Orleans and beyond.
Four pillars.
A proven blueprint.
Designed for sustainable community impact: workshops build baseline skills, hackathons turn ideas into shipping products, and industry partnerships launch careers.
Build
Hackathons where ideas turn into working projects over a single weekend.
Connect
Career fairs and mentorship that put students face to face with employers.
Grow
Year-round programs for high school and college students.
Proven impact
A decade of experience,
now in New Orleans.
HackTulane is built on a track record of scaling high-impact collegiate hackathons. Across our founding team’s previous events, we’ve delivered real opportunities to thousands of student builders.
