Code Nation's Hackathon brings our entire community together for an all-day coding event. Students work in teams, with the support of volunteer technical mentors, to design, plan, and build a web app around a surprise theme that's revealed in the morning.
Â
At the end of the day, students pitch their projects to a panel of guest judges and the winning teams are awarded prizes. Students have described this event as being the "best day of their year" :).
Code Nation is a national nonprofit organization that equips students in under-resourced high schools with the skills, experiences, and connections that together create access to careers in technology.
Our vision is for youth from low-income and under-represented backgrounds in tech to have equitable access to a career in their local tech sector, where they can realize economic security and lend their unique perspective to building our future. Visit us at codenation.org!Â
