What is APEERS?

APEERS is a peer-to-peer tutoring platform that aims to provide free tutoring and educational resources for all students across the globe, especially those belonging to lower-income and underrepresented communities. We're still building, and we are always looking for new talent to recruit!

About the challenge

APEERS is a high-school student-led non-profit, so we are very familiar with the capacity that students have for bringing about change in their world. During the APEERS High-School Hackathon, we challenge you to build (or imagine) something that will change the world (yes, it's possible). 

The competition will begin on Saturday, January 13th, and submissions will close Friday, January, 26th.

Mentors will be available throughout the hackathon to guide participants on their development journey.

• Potential For Change
  Judges assess projects on their potential to create tangible, positive change. Emphasis on real-world problem-solving, practicality, and feasibility.
• Social Feasibility and Practicality
  Evaluation of project practicality, feasibility, and likelihood of successful implementation. Consideration of available resources and scalability.
• User-Centered Design
  Emphasis on user experience and relevance to the intended audience. Evaluation based on how well participants consider end-users in their design.
• Sustainability and Long-Term Impact
  Judging based on the consideration of long-term impact and sustainability. Assessment of potential for continued success and lasting effects beyond the hackathon.
