Hack Your Way Through the Weekend at AUHack
Volunteer students across the IT programmes at AU host a hackathon on 13 – 15 March in the Nygaard building on Katrinebjerg. The weekend is all about immersion – participants don’t even have to worry about snacks or dinner.

What’s the location?
The event is held in the Nygaard building (building 5335) on Katrinebjerg. The exact address is Finlandsgade 21, 8200 Aarhus N.
If you like coding, developing new concepts, or are just fond of IT, then AUHack is for you. At least, that’s what the organisers write on their website.
The scene is set for an innovative and playful weekend for the hackathon planned by ten student volunteers since November last year.
“For this hackathon, you have the opportunity to generate ideas and projects on a real-world problem,” says event coordinator Sigurd Majgaard Rasmussen.
A number of companies, all working with IT, are sponsoring the event.
“This year, InCommodities is bringing a case that participants will solve over the weekend,” Sigurd Majgaard Rasmussen says.
And for the less computer-literate, a hackathon doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with hacking into systems, Sigurd Majgaard Rasmussen emphasises.
IMMERSIONAND ALL MEALS INCLUDED
Organisers promise benefits such as merchandise and free meals included. This gives the participants ample opportunity to spend the weekend immersing themselves in coding, cases and idea generation, Sigurd Majgaard Rasmussen says.
The event is for everyone interested in IT, regardless of skill level, Sigurd Majgaard Rasmussen says. However, the weekend isn’t just about serious vibe-coding and cases.
“There will also be many small events and workshops that you can attend during the weekend if you need a break,” Sigurd Majgaard Rasmussen says.
