Why we exist
There are 300,000 CS students in the UK and most of them will graduate without ever attending a hackathon. I'm trying to change that. Hackathon Radar finds the hackathons, curates the good ones, tells you which ones are worth your time, and gives you a profile that proves what you built. It's a hackathon CV for the generation that builds instead of applies.

What we do
Find events
We scrape, curate, and verify every hackathon, conference, and tech event worth knowing about in the UK.
Curate the good ones
Not every hackathon is created equal. We filter out the noise so you only see the ones worth your weekend.
Build your hackathon CV
Passport tracks what you've built, where you've competed, and what you've won -- proof that you ship.
For students
Discover hackathons
Browse upcoming events filtered by category, location, and whether they're beginner-friendly. Get notified the moment new ones drop.
Find teammates
Connect with builders on Discord and WhatsApp. Form teams, share ideas, and find people who are as ambitious as you.
Build your portfolio
Every hackathon you attend and project you build gets added to your Passport -- a living record of what you've shipped.
For organisers
Reach 800+ builders
Your event gets seen by an active community of students who are already looking for their next hackathon.

We promote your event across Discord, WhatsApp, email, and social media -- wherever your attendees are.

For sponsors
Access up-and-coming high-signal talent
Hackathon winners are proven builders who ship under pressure, not CV-optimisers. These are the people who build working products in 24 hours -- exactly the kind of talent that moves the needle at your company.
Higher guarantee of ROI
Sponsoring through Hackathon Radar means your brand reaches active builders who actually use dev tools, not passive attendees. Every impression lands on someone who is hands-on with technology and likely to convert.
Tap into the student hackathon ecosystem
Hackathon Radar is the connective tissue between 300+ UK hackathons. Your sponsorship reaches across the entire ecosystem, not just one event -- giving you sustained visibility with the next generation of engineers.
