What is Hack Day?

Hack Day is a 7 hour hackathon where students will work in teams to create a an app, program, or website that addresses a major issue that teens face today.

Who can participate?

All middle and high school students can participate!

Does this cost money?

Nope, Hack Day is completely free. We will provide food, water, and awesome swag.

What if I can't code?

Don't worry! We will be providing a workshop that covers the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to help you get started! And if you have any questions, we will have mentors available to help! (although they will not be allowed to do the coding for you)

Do I need to bring anything?

It is highly HIGHLY recommended that you bring your own laptop and charger. If you cannot, contact Jocelyn at jocelyn.h.thai@gmail.com, or Neha at nehasunil1137@gmail.com, and we will try to make arrangements to provide you with a computer. If you drop in the day of without telling us ahead of time and you need a computer, there will be no guarantee that one will be available.

What will I gain from this?

In addition to a fun and unique experience to improve your programming skills with your friends, first, second, and third place winners also get cool prizes :) And even if you don't end up winning, everyone will get free food and swag, including T-shirts, laptop stickers, and more!​​
