We believe that today's university thinkers are tomorrow's industry leaders and with a broad range of engaging programs on your campus you can show off your skills, get an inside look at the world’s largest global online network, and have a great time doing it.

Yahoo! University Hack Days

Join Yahoo! web experts including Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP, for a week of learning, hacking and fun! You'll hear interesting tech talks, hacking tips and lessons, and get hands-on coding workshops where you'll work with cutting-edge technology.

The week's events will culminate with our University Hack Day competition-a day-long festival of coding, camaraderie, demos, awards, food, music and jollity (it's a real word, look it up). It's not about perfect code, just your creativity, a cool idea and a working prototype. You'll have access to tons of APIs and tools in the Yahoo! Developer Network (check out Pipes, the YUI Library, SearchMonkey and BOSS just to name a few).

No rules or limitations - just show up and hack for your opportunity to win cool prizes, a spot in the gallery, street cred and the chance to represent your school at the University Hack Showdown in California. This is your shot to develop something that will revolutionize the industry, make the world a better place or at least make the judges laugh (trust us, that goes a long way!). See you there!

Student Organization Support

Student organizations are a vital part of any university's community and we look to support those organizations whenever possible through a variety of sponsorships, tech talks and campus activities. If you would like to know more about our partnerships with student organizations, please contact us.

Student Awards

We believe in the next generation of big thinkers and in that aim we look to recognize and reward outstanding students.

In 2008 we initiated the Yahoo! Student Teaching Awards. These awards annually recognize one undergraduate and one graduate student who demonstrate exemplary dedication, enthusiasm, technical expertise, and communication skills as teaching assistants (TAs). Selection is based on student nominations, recommendation letters, and supervising faculty reviews. Undergraduate and graduate students teaching courses and/or serving as TAs in Computer Science departments are eligible for the Yahoo! Student Teaching Awards. The awards will be presented at the end of the academic year. To learn more about the Yahoo! Student Teaching Awards, please contact us
