Join us for DataHacks 2026 at UC San Diego, a 36-hour hackathon bringing together over 400 talented students from across the country to build the next generation of intelligent applications. This year, participants will have the opportunity to build with Google Cloud and explore Google’s new Build with AI program, gaining hands-on experience with modern AI tools, cloud infrastructure, and real-world datasets.

Throughout the event, students will design and prototype projects using Google Cloud technologies, experiment with cutting-edge AI models, and learn directly from mentors and engineers working in the field. Workshops and mentorship sessions will guide participants through building scalable AI-powered applications, from data pipelines and model deployment to cloud-native solutions.

Whether you're interested in machine learning, generative AI, cloud systems, or full-stack development, DataHacks provides the space to collaborate, innovate, and push technical boundaries. With mentorship, networking opportunities, and prizes, this is your chance to showcase your skills while learning how to build impactful solutions with modern AI and cloud technologies.

Don’t miss this opportunity to create, learn, and launch something meaningful using Google Cloud and the Build with AI ecosystem.
