FARQ University Hackathon 2026: From Knowledge to Impact

Organized by Al Yamamah University, FARQ Hackathon is a national university hackathon designed to bridge academic knowledge with real-world impact. Gathering students from 44+ Saudi universities and 33 colleges, the hackathon challenges multidisciplinary teams (3–5 members) to harness Artificial Intelligence and digital transformation to solve pressing academic and operational challenges. Participants progress through remote evaluations to a grand in-person finale at Al Yamamah University (Khobar), building innovative, scalable prototypes across three primary tracks: Student Journey, Campus Operations, and Future Research.
