YouthHacks is an international student-run learnathon and hackathon based in Southern California. YouthHacks strives to address the disparity in STEM education by providing a collaborative environment, especially for underprivileged students from less fortunate socioeconomic backgrounds, to help kickstart their STEM careers.

Participants will be enriched with critical STEM and problem-solving skills, learn from Youth in Code's experienced instructors, make new friends, and create an amazing project with the support of mentors! After YouthHacks, students will not only have programming experience from their project, but also the necessary tools to further their knowledge.

The hackathon encourages finding solutions catered toward addressing socioeconomic issues in our world. We hope to challenge students across the globe and reward them for their creativity!

Make sure to check out our schedule, sign-up on our Devpost, and join our Discord server, which is where all the hackathon’s communications and announcements will take place.
