Hackathons for Beginners 2025

Beginner hackathons are the ideal launchpad for aspiring developers, students, and technology enthusiasts who are new to programming. These events provide a supportive and inclusive environment where participants can learn through hands-on experience, collaborate with others, and create their first project. Whether exploring web development, Python, data science, or design, beginner hackathons help participants gain practical experience, mentorship, and real-world confidence. No prior coding skills are necessary—just curiosity and a desire to learn.
