You don't have to be a coding whiz to be a hacker.

SET.Hacks() is a beginner-focused high school hackathon that empowers every student to start coding the future. With 20+ workshops, 40+ mentors and 6 guided learning tracks, our mission is to kickstart your journey into tech.

Over 3 days of pre-hackathon workshops and 48 hours of hacking, we'll equip you with everything you need on your mission. Regardless of your background or experience, we want to see your ideas and help you bring them to life!

Continuous round of hacker registrations is open at bit.ly/set-hacks-apply until August 15 @ 10:00 AM
