Global Hack Week: Builders Week

About this opportunity

November's Global Hack Week is Builders Week, described by MLH as a week of beginner-friendly content centred on creating. It runs November 6–12, 2026, entirely online, with the usual Global Hack Week mix of workshops, technical live streams, mini events and challenges. If you have never shipped anything and a 36-hour hackathon sounds like too much, this is the gentler entry point: no team required, no travel, and you choose how many sessions to attend. Register through the official Global Hack Week portal; the community Discord is where teammates and help live.

What you get

• Beginner-friendly workshops and live streams for a full week
• A first project you can point at, with community support
• No team, travel or prior experience required

Who can take part

Open to the MLH community — explicitly beginner-friendly, all levels welcome.

Eligibility is copied from the organizer's own published rules — they make the final call. Confirm on the official page before you apply.

Coming later: attendees who leave genuinely useful reviews will earn credits toward paid opportunities. Nothing is being awarded yet — reviews are unpaid and unverified for now.
