What is Citrus Hack?

Citrus Hack is a 24-hour hackathon. A hackathon invites collegiate students to a location to collaborate and innovate. Throughout the 24 hours participants work in teams on a project, attend workshops to learn about new technologies, and network with industry partners.

Our History

Citrus Hack was founded in 2014 by ACM and IEEE student members at the University of California, Riverside. Their goal was to create a place where students can create with the freedom of their creativity. Established by students for students, Citrus Hack has since become one of Southern California’s premier collegiate hackathons. Citrus Hack is a place where students can turn their ideas into the next technological boom.
