This Hackathon is for BOTH EXPERIENCED & NEW hackers to create a sustainable world for all.

At Minerva Hackathon, we believe that you can think and create bigger than most Hackathons expect of you. You will learn about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) side by side with talented peers and outstanding mentors.
