About
Hackathon: Your Chance to Be a Tech Superhero!
Ever wanted to create something amazing with technology?
What's a hackathon?
It's a competition where you work together with other students to solve a problem. A hackathon is your chance to be part of a team of super-smart kids like you and create something cool in just a few days!
You'll get to use your creativity, problem-solving skills, and coding knowledge to make something truly awesome. And if you don’t have all those skills yet, there will be mentors to help you from STEM Incubators, Microsoft, and AI Robotics.
Why should you join a hackathon?
Learn new skills: You'll learn how to code, design, and work in a team.
Meet new friends: You'll connect with other students who share your passion for technology.
Have fun: Hackathons are a great way to have fun and be creative.
Join in two exciting workshops in the September-October school holidays.
