Hacks for Humanity, sponsored by Project Humanities at Arizona State University (ASU), is a 36-hour competitive hackathon for the social good that challenges participants to create technological solutions and initiatives to address local and global issues by implementing the seven Humanity 101 principles: kindness, compassion, integrity, respect, empathy, forgiveness, and self-reflection.. Unlike many such hackathons, Hacks for Humanity encourages participants from a wide skillset—even those who have no previous “hacking” experience—this invites the participation of individuals with and without coding skills. In fact, we welcome coders and creatives, app makers and artists, engineers and entrepreneurs alike, along with each and every person in between. When these diverse perspectives come together, innovation is the exciting result.
Eligibility
There is no minimum technical knowledge required to join the hackathon. We believe that each individual brings unique value to their team with or without previous technology experience.
