Every Thursday @ 6 PM
bringing you together with student
founders to innovate on new ideas.
We learn from each other, push limits, and celebrate wins together.
That's what this space is all about.
Community creates momentum.
Get close to it.
Born from a simple desire to create, HackNights began as a welcoming space for students to explore their creativity beyond the traditional classroom. It's not a hackathon, nor a club. Just an easygoing environment where innovation thrives naturally.
Here, you're encouraged to fail, expreiment, learn, and do it all over again. Our community thrives on collaboration, where experienced builders, newcomers, and everyone in between contributes to Davis' growing startup culture. Join us to bridge classroom concepts with real-world innovation.
