LauzHack is a student-run hackathon at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Hackathons are creativity and prototyping marathons, in which you “hack” a demo of your cool idea to show its potential.
No need to be a programming master, only to be able to glue together existing libraries and interfaces to create your demo as a team.
Come have fun, meet new friends, and maybe even win prizes during an amazing weekend!
Please keep in mind our rules.

The earlier you apply, the more likely you will be accepted. We get more applications than we have physical space to hold, so we cannot guarantee anything. More details here.
We have limited sleeping space for that night, you will need to request it once accepted.

You don’t need one to apply! Part of the fun is meeting people.
There will be time at the beginning to socialize and form teams.
That’s fine! Hackathons are about prototyping a cool idea by writing simple code, gluing together existing libraries and APIs.
You can recruit new teammates during the event.
For fairness reasons, we cannot allow changes to groups once you submit the application form.

Everything you create, at LauzHack or not, belongs to you.
