About Butwal Hacks

We run free hackathons, workshops, and project-based learning programs for students across Lumbini Province, Nepal. No fees. No experience required. Just people who show up to build.

Mission

Give every young technologist in Nepal a way to prove what they can build — a verified identity, a portfolio they own, and a community that shows up.

How we work

• Student-run. We organize events, not the other way around. Students lead, build, and teach.
• Community-funded. Every rupee is tracked on Open Collective. No administrative salaries — all funds go to programs.
• Build-first. We ship projects, not slide decks. Every event ends with something real you can show.

Transparency

Every initiative on this site is labeled by status — active, planned, or proposed. We don't inflate claims or pretend roadmaps are reality. Our finances are public on Open Collective. Our code is open-source on GitHub. Trust is earned by telling the truth, even when it's not impressive.
