NEIGHBORHOOD
HACKS
Build locally, share globally
A global hackathon for high schoolers. Over seven days, students from every continent design and build solutions to challenges in their own communities. There are no skill requirements, and anyone in high school is welcome to join.
WHY THIS?
(glad you asked)ROOTED IN REALITY
Every project starts with a real problem the team has personally seen — not a hypothetical "wouldn't it be cool if." You know your neighborhood better than anyone.
TRULY GLOBAL
Students from every continent, every background, every skill level. Your local problem matters just as much as anyone else's — that's the whole point.
THREE-STAGE REVIEW
Automated screening checks the requirements, an initial review chooses the finalists, and professional judges choose the winners.
FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS
Whether this is your first hackathon or your tenth, Neighborhood Hacks is designed so every skill level has a fair shot at building something meaningful.
READY TO BUILD?
Your neighborhood has problems worth solving. Work in a team of 1-5 people, pick a real problem, and build the fix in a week.
