OneHacks is a 7-day online hackathon from August 29th to September 5th open to high school students all over the world. Our mission is to provide aspiring coders more opportunities for software and career development, so you can take your projects to the next level and lead a more innovative future. We hope that by hosting a virtual hackathon, we can expose you to the deeper levels of technology, opening a new path for your STEM-related careers.
If you are experienced, or a complete beginner, we encourage you to join! You can take up to 3 other friends with you and join as a team. There will be many workshops and speakers for anyone to learn more about computer science. This field can be for everyone; it requires passionate students to be creative and think outside the box.
*This year's rules regarding AI have been adjusted and can be referenced in our OneHacks Rules.
