Making something you're proud of is incredibly rewarding. But it's really hard to do alone. Since 2013, Purdue Hackers has been a home to build, ship, and demo creative-technical projects together. Here's how we do it:

hack night

Hack Night happens every Friday night at 8pm, second floor of the Bechtel Center. It's a dedicated space to work on personal projects, join (or even run) workshops, and share your progress at Checkpoints or on Discord. Ends when the last person leaves (often until 6am or later).

A typical Hack Night schedule looks something like this:

D~5~5|5 (8:00pm):	Hacking begins
E~0~0|0 (9:00pm):	Session 1
E~A~A|A (10:00pm):	Session 2
0~0~0 (12:00am):	Checkpoints

If you go to Purdue - whether you've never written code before or are highly technical, whether you're an art major or a CS major -
you're invited.

community

The heart of Purdue Hackers is our Discord community with 3000+ people. Share what you've made in #ship, chat about rainbows in #lounge, and get technical help in #code. Find people who push you to be your best, and make awesome things together.

We have lots of cool artifacts too, including custom hacker passports, weekly acrylic badges designed and cut by members, a journal of projects done over summer, and more.

the show

At the end-of-semester, we hold the Show, an exhibit where our community comes together to share projects made throughout the semester at Hack Night and beyond.
