What is a hackathon?
It’s basically a sprint for programmers! Our hackathon is targeted for high school students but typically a group of people interested in programming come together to create a project in a sprint-like event!
What if I don’t know anything about coding?
No worries! Our hackathon is designed for high school students of all experience levels! We have starter kits for everyone, no matter how much experience you have had!
Do I work individually or with a team?
Either! We strongly recommend working in a team as hackathons are designed to be completed in groups and the work can be distributed for a more collaborative atmosphere! We have a 4 person max!
How do I find a team?
During registration we ask if you already have a team, if you do, great! If not we will form teams with students who are also interested in working in teams.
What will a day at the hackathon look like?
While you are working to complete your project, there will be food provided, and there will be workshops and panels throughout the day to teach you valuable skills and concepts
Companies that are providing us with the resources to come to the rescue.
