VillageHacks'26 Lite

​VillageHacks ‘26 Lite ⚡ 12 Hours. One Idea. Ship It.

​Last spring, VillageHacks ‘26 brought 300+ builders and 10+ sponsors together for one of the largest hackathons at ASU. Now we’re back with something faster.

​VillageHacks ‘26 Lite is a 12-hour sprint for students who want to build something real in a single day. You don’t need to clear your whole weekend. You don’t need to be an expert. Show up with curiosity, leave with a working project.
