Hack HSV III
Hack HSV is a high school hackathon where participants in teams up to five code a project based on a theme announced at the competition in an environment optimized for creativity (think of it as a science fair for coding). These projects can vary in any platform from web development, mobile apps, Arduinos, and even drag-n-drop Scratch. At the end of the event, participants will showcase their projects to fellow hackers, parents, and judges and have the chance to win amazing prizes. At Hack HSV, we want to inspire high school students across Alabama to create something exciting and rewarding!
The competition is on March 2, 2019 from 9:00am - 10:30pm. You can find the full schedule below
Hack HSV is taking place at Randolph Commons at Randolph School in Huntsville, Alabama - 4915 Garth Rd SE, Huntsville, Alabama
Anyone ages 13-18 from any part of the world can participate!
Absolutely not! You just need to have a laptop in order to participate as we have plenty of mentors that will be there to help you code from your first line to your last! We had plenty of students participate last year who had never even coded a single line before.
We have over $5000 in prizes to give out, including an Oculus Rift, a GoPro, and more.
Students will not be hacking in any illegal way. In the context of a hackathon, "hack" is used to describe the process of rapid prototyping as students work together to create something new and innovative.
You will be creating a project using whatever platform your heart desires from complex C++ code to drag-n-drop Scratch. However, you will only be eligible to win prizes if your final product falls under the theme of the competition.
Registration along with all food, T-Shirts, and prizes are included in a cost of only $25!
No! While participating with a team is required, you do not have to show up knowing who you will be with. We will have dedicated time for those who do not have a team to build one.
Teams are required to have a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 5.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with as many snacks and energy drinks that your body can take is all on us!
Registrations are open! Sign up now!
This year, we are excited to announce that we will be providing Arduino kits and bluetooth modules to connect your projects to the real world!
