It’s a grand gathering of people to make their ideas come to life. Think out of the box, try new technologies, ask questions, make mistakes, discover a new language, and have fun! Read more on Medium.

That’s absolutely fine! We encourage beginners to join us. Get psyched to learn a ton from our mentors and have a blast with your teammates!

Your goal should be to have a finished or almost complete project by Saturday evening. However, StuyHacks is ultimately a learning experience, so don’t sweat it too much if you can’t finish.

You should bring your laptop, phone, chargers, and HYPE. All food and other accommodations will be taken care of.

All students! Even though the hackathon is only for high schoolers and middle schoolers, if you’re in college or above, you can still apply to be one of our amazing mentors or volunteers!

The deadline to register is in late December.

Nope, you’re welcome to hack on your own! However, only teams with 2-4 people are eligible to win prizes.

We expect over 100 hackers from middle/high schools all over the tri-state area to be attending StuyHacks.

Nope—just come with a willingness to learn something new!
