Baltimore’s Premiere High School Hackathon

Big things are on the horizon... Coming December 2024.

Be one of Baltimore’s leading innovators today!

A hackathon is a tech innovation marathon where dreams run wild. Students work together to develop creative projects, called “hacks,” in the hope of winning one of our event prizes. They’re encouraged to form teams, come up with an idea, and build their ideas into tangible products.

Don’t know how to code? We got you! Like most hackathons, HackPoly.Tech is a beginner-friendly event. All you need is your school laptop and a desire to learn. Even if you have never written a line of code before, don’t sweat it! We have plenty of workshops and mentors to help you get started.

Schedule

Stay tuned! HackPoly.Tech will be back in December 2024.
