Hack Indy 2026 made an immediate impression, leaving me with a strong sense of pride and optimism about what our students are building in Indianapolis. The Purdue Computer Science<\/a> Club\u2019s second annual hackathon was an extraordinary achievement, shaped by the thoughtful and energetic leadership of co\u2011presidents Abha Gupta<\/a> and Om Janamanchi<\/a>. The result was an experience defined by ambitious vision, strong execution and a genuine commitment to learning in community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the numbers:
– 130 participants including students, faculty, IT staff and research scientists
– 33 projects developed and judged by industry experts
– 20 sponsors and partners who helped make it possible <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hack Indy reflects the trailblazing spirit of Purdue students in Indianapolis \u2014 students who are building something new and setting a high bar for what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
