Hacktoberfest Hackathon Denver (2025)

​Join us in celebrating Hacktoberfest 2025 with a fun-filled hackathon right here in Denver and get your hands on exclusive Hacktoberfest merchandise and prizes worth $400 for the winners [ possibly a brand new smartwatch for the winners :)]

​With the theme around Open Source and AI, we will kick things off with a quick introduction to Hacktoberfest, followed by a talk from Laravel team and Gradient AI workshop to spark ideas and give you hands-on experience.

​Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves for the hackathon build session (3 hours), where you’ll collaborate, code, and create something awesome. The day wraps up with submissions, judging, and crowning our winners. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced contributor, this is a great opportunity to learn, build, and be part of the open-source community.

​Win exclusive Hacktoberfest swag and prizes.
