The origin of CopenHacks

The idea of CopenHacks came in 2015 by a student at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).  We wanted a hackathon that would take place near the university, be focused on learning and fun, and open to anyone interested in creating innovative and impressive solutions. CopenHacks is different from other local hackathons in that it does not require participants / students to create existing solutions or work on company-specific issues, but rather is intended as a meeting point for meeting other hackers, dedicating 24 hours on this great idea and offer a weekend of opportunities to learn from other talented hackers.

CopenHacks was conceived with the intention that local and international students from different backgrounds come together to work on any project they want, using the technology they want, in the hope of starting a more progressive, attractive program and enriching the “Hacker” culture in Denmark.

The Microsoft Building

The CopenHacks takes place in the new and luxurious Microsoft building in Kongens Lyngby, Copenhagen, Denmark (which is also the Microsoft Development Center). The building is the workplace of hundreds of Microsoft employees around the world, and the facilities are modern and stylish. The infrastructure is designed to support a large number of people simultaneously connected to the network. There is even a quiet sleeping room, a locker room with showers and a play area with Xbox and kinekts.
