⭐ Watch live technical streams
⭐ Participate in skill-building workshops
⭐ Join us for fun activities
⭐ Enter and win swag in raffles
What is AI/ML Week?
Each GHW features a new theme, and this August we're exploring the world of AI/ML! Throughout the week, we'll offer workshops, technical sessions, and more!
Who is GHW for?
Global Hack Week is for anyone ready to level-up their hacking skills. We welcome all programmers, designers, artists, and hackers from around the globe to join us for these events. Whether this is is day 1 or day 1000 of your hacker journey, we want you to join us!
Can I get swag at this event?
Yes, of course! Each Global Hack Week will feature some amazing 2025 Hackathon Season swag…you’ll have to participate to find out exactly what you’re getting!
What is a Guild? How can I be a part of it?
One of the best parts of our community is that it allows people to meet and make connections with others, regardless of where you live. guilds are smaller communities within Major League Hacking. Whether you come in with a guild or not, you won’t be hacking alone.
Who organizes Global Hack Week?
Global Hack Week is organized by Major League Hacking (MLH). It is our mission to empower hackers worldwide by providing them with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed.
