RoyalHacks
Denmark's first national student hackathon
For 24 hours, students from universities and higher education programmes across Denmark come together to build something real — from a crazy idea to a working prototype, in one weekend.
You form a team, take on a challenge, and build. On Sunday, every team presents what they made. The best solutions win prizes.
This event is for you
Whether you're a developer, a designer, a business student, a cybersecurity student, or anything else — you belong here. RoyalHacks is specifically designed so every discipline can contribute on equal footing. Projects win through originality and usefulness, not technical depth.
What's included
🧠 Knowledge breaks: short, practical sessions taught by industry professionals throughout the weekend
🤖 Free Lovable access: an AI tool that lets anyone build and deploy a real web app just by describing what they want. Every participant gets free credits.
👥 Team matching: no team yet? We have matching activities at kickoff and a pre-event Discord to connect with other hackers in advance
🏆 Challenge tracks: themed challenges with their own briefs, resources, and prizes
🙋 Mentors on-site: industry professionals available throughout the entire event to help your team
💸 Completely free: for all admitted participants
