Hack Chicago was a great way for me to compete to create a project that I loved in a high-energy environment. With the resources we needed and plenty of mentors to assist us, it has been a blast! I hope to return next year. I plan on using my scholarship to obtain the resources I need for my future projects.

Thanks for everything at Hack Chicago this year. We'll see you again in the future!
Last year, we hosted Chicago Hacks, Chicago’s largest high school hackathon. With over 130 attendees and 30+ projects presented, it would be an understatement to call that just a success. This year, we’re ramping it up a notch. Not only will we have more attendees, but we’ll have more workshops, events, and prizes.
See what happened last year »We’re committed to making Hack Chicago the best hackathon you’ve ever attended. By partnering with Hack Club, a network of high school coding clubs, we can provide the best possible experience. We’ll have coding workshops for people who have never written a line of code before, as well as ones for those with years of experience. Plus, fun surprises, and of course, hacking galore.
What is Hack Club? »Everyone is welcome. We aim to create a safe space for all, free of harassment and discrimination. Therefore, we take violations of our event code of conduct and Hack Club code of conduct very seriously. To report something, please email us at [email protected].
