Overview
We are running the most exciting hackathon in the New England area for high school students. It will be a day where you can develop cool ideas, meet other high school hackers, and get better at programming!
Why HackNEHS? High school hackathons are abundant on the West Coast, but there are relatively few on the other side of the country. We think hackathons are amazing opportunities, so we've designed hackNEHS to give this same experience to all New England high schoolers, regardless of prior experience. For beginners, we have experienced mentors ready to answer questions, and a variety of workshops that teach the basics. But this is also a great event for experienced coders: Explore new ideas and technology, talk to other talented individuals, and win prizes!
We hope to see you there!
