The 2025 Hackathon offers underserved youth aged 13-18 a transformative journey to bring their ideas to life as real-world solutions that make a difference. This free program immerses students in coding, entrepreneurship, and teamwork, guiding them as they develop projects aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Led by dedicated instructors, participants gain hands-on experience in creating impactful solutions to pressing social challenges, with donations directly supporting their growth.
As part of the goals of the Hackathon, students will learn to utilize Office 365 and the Microsoft Teams platform for collaboration and mutual learning. The program connects students through a virtual instructor-led format. The 11th annual Hack-A-Thon, taking place this December, adopts ahybrid structure. It allows community partners and schooldistricts to host students in person while providing a virtual attendance option.
The online coding training is scheduled for evenings and weekends from November 3rd to November 21st, with project build time allocated from December 6th to 14th. Students will be grouped into four teams, each with a dedicated mentor. The training begins with the Level I curriculum, guiding students through coding with HTML and CSS. Progressing to Level II introduces JavaScript, and the advanced Level III curriculum delves into sophisticated web development using React. Additionally, this year's curriculum allows students to learn Python as part of their Hackathon experience.
So far, 17 participants have signed up. Hurry up if you're interested!
