Hack For the World is a 12-hour hackathon for high-schoolers. Students from across the Chicagoland area will come for the day, teaming up (or going solo) to build an app, game, or website. We’ll provide free meals & drinks. In the evening, judges will pick the best projects award prizes. You’ll meet people, create amazing new things, & most importantly, have fun.
Requirements
We will reveal the theme the day of the hackathon! Feel free to get creative with it! We want you to submit any kind of project that aligns with the theme. This could take on the form of websites, simulations, games, or analysis apps. You will present your project and its vision to a panel of judges and will be judged according to a rubric. Additionally, be prepared to record a short demo video to show everyone else if you win!
