A one-day builder event for students and recent graduates who want to build with MongoDB and explore intern and graduate opportunities.

The day is practical, collaborative and hiring-focused. You’ll get a technical introduction, starter templates and support from MongoDB engineers and the Give(a)Go team, then build in teams and share a small number of demos at the end of the day. The demos replace formal judging.

Who should apply

We’re prioritising penultimate-year students, final-year students and recent graduates interested in software engineering and technical roles. Strong second-year applicants are also welcome. Applications are reviewed based on your profile and what you have built.

MongoDB skill badges are encouraged and can be used to prepare in advance of the hackathon.
