Hack Fest Info
NEIU Eagle HackFest 2026 will take place on Friday April 17th, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on the NEIU Main Campus in Alumni Hall.
This year’s hackathon will give students the chance to compete in one of 4 tracks: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Information Technology (IT) and General Computer Science. Students will select a track and spend the day hacking through a problem designed by our faculty.
