Major League Hacking is supported by a number of corporate sponsorships from companies such as GitHub, Capital One, Slack, Google Cloud, Soylent, and more.
A hackathon is a large-scale event where people gather to create new software or hardware together. MLH hackathons are intended for students of all skill levels, including beginners. At MLH weekend hackathons, students come up with new technology ideas like apps and develop them from start to finish over the weekend, alone or with a team. Attendees can form teams at the event.
