About the Hackathon
FGCU's annual hackathon by CSSEC invites students to innovate, build solutions, and compete for prizes. Join us for 36 hours of coding, learning, and collaboration!
EagleHacks 2026 is Florida Gulf Coast University’s premier student-run hackathon, bringing together developers, designers, and innovators from across Florida and beyond for a high-energy weekend of building, learning, and collaboration.Over 36 hours, participants will turn ideas into real projects—whether that’s a web app, mobile experience, hardware prototype, data-driven solution, or something completely unexpected.
