Luddy hosts academic contests that are opportunities for you to explore boldly, experiment freely, and test what you can do in a fast-paced, real-world environment. We encourage you to push boundaries, dive deep into hands-on problem-solving, and collaborate with peers who are just as curious and ambitious as you are, all while you gain the experience, confidence, and creative momentum that set Luddy students apart.
At the Luddy Hackathon, you’ll work alongside peers to develop a project from start to finish. Whether you’re into websites, mobile apps, games, software, or AI models—you’ll have the freedom to build what excites you. The theme? Simple: Create. Innovate. Lead.
This event encourages IU Bloomington students to use technology in innovative ways to address compelling problems. Come up with an idea, work on it, and apply. If your team is selected, you’ll pitch to a panel of judges, and you could earn up to $30,000 in funding that will help you build your innovation.
