HackTheVibe, Powered by GitHub Education
Hack the Vibe is a 36-hour, creativity-first hackathon designed for builders, designers and innovators who want to code beyond the usual rules. Running from 20th–22nd February, this hackathon is all about vibe coding where experimentation, flow, and ideas matter just as much as technical execution.
Powered by GitHub Education, Hack the Vibe creates a space where beginners and experienced developers alike can learn by doing, collaborate freely and ship something meaningful together.
This isn’t just about winning prizes.
It’s about finding your flow, learning in public, and building with the community.
