Big Ideas Take Shape at TreeHacks 2026 Leave a comment

Stanford’s TreeHacks 2026, the largest collegiate hackathon in the U.S., was a weekend of rapid innovation. Over 1,000 students, selected from more than 15,000 applicants, spent 36 hours turning bold ideas into real projects related to AI, healthcare, sustainability, education, and more. 

As a sponsor, Logitech spent the weekend connecting with the builders of tomorrow who inspire us to design tools that extend their coding potential. During the opening ceremony, we shared how our MX Series helps coders maximize productivity so they can spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time hacking, coding, and creating. 

While we weren’t part of the coding tracks, we did host a “You’ve Got Options” workshop on Saturday to a standing room only audience who learned how our Logi Options+ software and Actions Ring overlay can simplify workflows and save you up to 33% of time. A live demo during the typing-speed challenge showed how with the MX Master 4 and Actions Ring you could achieve 468 words per minute – more than five times faster than the average for skilled professionals. 

Workshop attendees then created their own actions to improve efficiency in Terminal, a tool for writing code and scripts. They found ways to save time on tasks like running commands and navigating file systems, which is crucial during a hackathon where every minute counts. To support their journeys beyond TreeHacks, we hosted a giveaway and sent participants home with MX Master 4 mice and MX Keys S keyboards.

 Throughout the weekend, the Logitech table was a popular spot for testing our products, learning more about Logi Options+ and Actions Ring, challenging friends to a typing competition, and product giveaways.

At TreeHacks 2026, coders turned ideas into functional solutions in just 36 hours, reminding us why we do what we do. We design tools that enable the builders of tomorrow to bring their visions to life.
