Thank you for joining us for NorseHacks 2026! This event is cohosted by the Viking Hackathon Club (VHC) at PSU and the We in Computer Science (WiCS) Club.

You and a team of up to three others will have 24 hours to code a project that furthers sustainability, all for the chance to win an amazing prize! We hope that this event will give you the opportunity to exercise your coding, collaboration, and creativity as everyone works towards a common goal. It's your chance to take the reins and build the software (or hardware) of your dreams.
