HackJPS provides a supportive virtual environment for middle and high school students to transform their innovative ideas into tangible projects over 72 hours, with access to diverse workshops and mentorship.
HackJPS is an annual 72-hour virtual hackathon designed for middle and high school students (aged 13+). It aims to bring together creative minds for intense learning, building, and virtual workshops. Participants, whether seasoned developers or beginners, are provided with the environment and resources to turn their ideas into reality. The event emphasizes creativity and a fun experience over competition, encouraging participants to express themselves and build projects using any programming language. Workshops cover a range of topics, from fundamental programming like HTML and Python for beginners to more advanced subjects like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), neural networks, and even turning hackathon ideas into startups. Mentorship and resources are provided by sponsors and student organizations to support participants throughout the event.
A typical day involves virtual check-ins, an opening ceremony, workshops on various topics like 'Hack to Business,' dedicated working periods for project development, and wrap-up sessions.
The ideal student is a middle or high schooler (aged 13+) with any level of experience, from complete beginner to seasoned developer, who is eager to learn, build, and express creativity in a collaborative virtual environment.
