This July, Join over 100+ teen hackers in Cleveland, Ohio at our first high-school hackathon organized by high-schoolers! Hack the Land is a social coding/engineering event, where teen hackers/participants turn their ideas to reality in just one weekend. Whether it's 2am-debugging with cookies or karaoke, our ultimate goal is to host an unforgettable experience for participants
Hackathons are collaborative multi-day events where participants (also called hackers) bring their ideas to life by building innovative projects from scratch using software development principals. Aside from just being coding events/competitions, hackathons offer several fun mini-events, educational workshops, sponsor fairs, and an overall great atmosphere to hang out in! (taken from Hack The Nest because it's a really good summary)
Nothing!
Yourself! (ofc), laptop, chargers, and anything you feel would help improve other participants experience at Hack The Land!
100% email me at [email protected] with any questions!
Don't worry!! We'll be running workshops throughout the event teaching you how to code. This is more then a competition, it's a place to learn, grow, and apply new skills!
We encourage people to ideate their projects at Hack The Land. It's 100% ok to not have an idea!
Yes!!! Any and all high-schoolers and 8th graders are encouraged to attend!! However any younger students who are interested are 100% encouraged to attend! We'll do our best to ensure all students are properly supported at this event. Anyone older then 18 are welcome to join us as a mentor to help ensure the success of our participants!
