About
StuyHacks is a student-run hackathon taking place in the heart of Manhattan. We seek to expose as many high school students as possible to the creativity and innovation that technology brings. To us, hackathons are more than friendly competitions - they're opportunities to meet the
great inventors, creators, and thinkers of the future. Our job is to eliminate the negative connotations that come with hacking and the technology field, and to instead replace them with the idea that coding something anyone can do, even in a weekend. We want to help trailblaze a new
generation of diversity and enthusiasm for invention. Come join our movement.
Get ready, get set, get HACKING!

be one of our amazing mentors at this link!What if I don't know how to program?
Don't worry! You're still invited to join us! We'll have mentors eagerly waiting to help you out with any questions you may have, to get you started off on the right foot, and to teach you new skills. There will also be workshops running during the day, so definitely look out for those!
What am I allowed to make?
In short, ANYTHING! If you're planning on creating a hardware hack, feel free to bring your own hardware! Otherwise, you can use any APIs, development stacks, programming languages, or tools you'll need to make your project complete!
How much does it cost to participate?
Nothing! Attending StuyHacks is completely free! (So why not sign up now for awesome swag, food, and a great time?)

Do I need to stay in the building all day?
We recommend staying inside StuyHacks for the duration of the hackathon, although you are free to leave if you need to do so.
How many people can I have on my team?
The maximum team size is four. You can also go solo or work with a smaller team if you'd like! If you need help finding a team, we'll be running a team building event and pitch at the start of the hackathon, so look out for that!
How is StuyHacks run?
Our hackathon is run by a group of nerdy and far-too-caffeinated high school students from Stuyvesant High School. Keep an eye out for us during the hackathon!
