Event guide
Why this event is on the calendar
Cove Hacks is a Bay Area, in-real-life high-school hackathon with an announced October–November 2026 window. The organizer describes a 48-hour format for hardware and software projects, plus a direct “ship it, demo it, celebrate” emphasis that makes it a genuine Shipathon-style addition to the calendar.
The exact 2026 dates are not yet published, so the listing is intentionally TBA and sorted at the end of its month. It should be useful for discovering the event early, not for committing to travel until the organizers release the final dates and venue.
Who gets value from it
High-school builders, student hackers, mentors, hardware and software creators, and sponsors supporting youth technical communities.
