HSHacks is a two-day event where high school students work together in teams (of up to 4 students) to design, build, and pitch an app to judges. Find your next internship, make something cool in 24 Hours, get some free schwag! At HSHacks, we are open to all experience levels. We believe a high school hackathon should be just as much as a learning experience as it is a coding experience. Welcome to the Big Leagues!

Eligibility

Any high schooler who is attending HSHacks can submit a hack! Remote hackers will be allowed to! You can choose to work individually. A team can have a max of 4 people.

Requirements

Make your product, submit your hack to ChallengePost and attend the product fair to show off what you built.Make sure to include the platforms and APIs you used in your hack. Also include the tech stack you used and a description of your project.
