FAQ

Great Question! A hackathon is an event where student hackers bring their passion for technology to create a new project coded from scratch. It's a chance to collaborate and create something unique in any number of forms - an app, a robot, a website! You'll hopefully learn something new along the way in our high energy, engaging environment! At RevolutionUC, participants are provided with opportunities to grow while building something they're proud of!

Hacking at RevolutionUC lasts for 24 hours, however there is additional time before and after hacking for introductions and presentations.

RevolutionUC 2025 is an in-person only event. Unfortunately, we won't be providing a virtual option this year.

RevolutionUC is free for all students enrolled at any accredited university or high school. Swag, prizes, and great memories are all included with this completely free cost!

This year we will be completely in-person! We hope to give you the best hackathon experience at the 1819 Innovation Hub of University of Cincinnati, located at 2900 Reading Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45206.

Teams are formed at the event. If you already have a team, please make sure every individual in your team is registered before the event! The maximum team size is 4.

That's okay! We will host a team formation event after the opening ceremony, so stay tuned!

Yes, all coders must be at least 16 years of age! If you're under 18, you will need to have a parent/guardian sign the waiver.

Please bring a valid school ID for registration, a computer to hack on, any chargers for your device(s), and a positive attitude. We also recommend bringing basic toiletries (toothbrush, deodorant, etc), a pillow/blanket (if you choose to nap). Please note that Ethernet access will be limited, so please plan to use a Wi-Fi connection.

You betcha. Before any hacking begins we require you to sign a waiver which will be emailed to all registered participants prior to the hackathon. If you are under 18 you will need a parent or legal guardian to sign the waiver.
