StemWarriorHacks
StemWarriorHacks is an international, student-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit hackathon aiming to inspire young innovators and thinkers to pursue a career in the field of programming and open their eyes to the depths, diversity, and power of computer science. Our hands-on hackathon event simulates the real world and will help participants build skills such as effectively working with others, managing time, applying knowledge in real situations, and problem-solving when situations arise. During our first hackathon, we provided free, high-quality workshops and speaker events where both first-time coders and experienced coders learned new skills, met new people and ignited their passion for computer science. We had over 300+ participants with 60k+ in prizes and are expecting much more this time!

Our hackathon will be hosted online between 8/6 to 8/8. Note you must submit your project before 12:00 AM PST (all our timings are in PST/PDT).
