SharkHack 2026 Interest Form for Judges

Thank you for your interest in judging at SharkHack 2026!

The theme for SharkHack 2026 is “Code Against the Machine.” Inspired by a punk-rock ethos, this year’s hackathon invites builders to reclaim technology and create on their own loud, bold, and original terms. It’s a space for rebellious ideas, creative experimentation, and people who want to challenge the status quo of tech.

We are looking for judges who share this spirit and want to help recognize and celebrate the work participants build throughout the event. Judges will review final projects, engage with teams as they present their ideas, ask questions about their approach and implementation, and help evaluate submissions across our prize categories.

If this vision resonates with you, we would love to have you join us.

📅 Date: April 4–5, 2026
📍 Location: Simmons University, 300 The Fenway
🕒 Duration: 24-hour hackathon (Saturday 8:00 AM – Sunday 12:30 PM)

For questions, please contact sharkhack@simmons.edu

All judges are required to be on-site on Sunday, April 5, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
