Our Story
HackCU began in 2014 when a group of passionate students wanted to provide other students the time and space to express their creativity and work on things they usually don't get a chance to. Since then we've been committed to fulfilling our mission of bringing students high-quality, inclusive events open to everyone irrespective of their experience.
Our Values
Hacker First
Everything we do is aimed at having hackers enjoy their time at our events.
Self-Improvement
At all times, HackCU encourages hackers and team members to improve, to learn, and to push themselves beyond their limits.
Open Source
HackCU will be open to share its knowledge to anyone interested and to teach other students what we learn. This means all of our projects will be open-sourced.
Student Run and Independent
HackCU is and always will be an independent entity run by students at CU Boulder. We won't be sellouts.
Anyone is HackCU
We welcome everyone regardless of their background, gender, race, major, or level of experience.
Inspire
Inspire people, to reach for more. Anyone can change the world around themselves!
