Conestoga High School's annual hackathon
March 15, 2025 (9am-6pm) | In-Person Event @ Conestoga High School
Good question! A Hackathon is an event where students come together to learn, build,
and share their creations the course of the day. Hackathons are often paired with
delicious (and free!) food and shiny prizes.
Anybody with an interest in technology can attend and expect a relaxed and welcoming
atmosphere. You certainly don't have to be a programmer or even know how to code.
Join over a hundred hackers from around the tri-state area in attending hackStoga on
March 15, 2025!
Whether you're a seasoned hacker (programmer) or you're new to tech, hackStoga is open
to everyone! Create a project, learn new skills, attend workshops, and connect with
friends at the event. (Did we mention? There's gonna be free food!)
A big thank you to our wonderful sponsors last year — especially our flagship sponsor, SIG.
We also thank the Uncommon Individual Foundation, Nicholas Paints, and Mathnasium.
hackStoga would not be possible without them!
hackStoga will take place Saturday March 15th, 2025 at Conestoga High School in our Atrium.
Well, a laptop! We recommend that you bring a charger as well and your phone (especially if it has a hotspot). You may also want to download any programs or libraries you feel like you might need— just in case!
hackStoga is 100% free for all participants thanks to our wonderful sponsors!
No worries, hackStoga is for everyone. In addition to mentors to help you get started, we'll have introductory programming classes, opportunities for artists, workshops, and more.
Sorry, hackStoga is a highschool event.
You may participate in teams of 2-5 or solo (although we don't recommend this).
hackStoga 24's theme will be announced at the event.
You can start work on your project as soon as hackStoga begins— that's right after the introductory presentation.
No, all projects must be built from scratch. Although, you are welcome to brainstorm ideas ahead of time.
Any library, any language. You must also credit any significant amount of code not authored by you used in your project—whether they're libraries or StackOverflow responses.
