50 students. 36 hours. 10 Mentors.

Hack HW is an overnight event open to any HW high school student, in which participants will collaborate on computer programming projects. Students will spend the majority of the event working with representatives from different tech companies, creating innovative programming projects, and competing for prestigious prizes.

Our goal is to not only encourages students to put their programming skills to practice, but also seeks to provide students, who may not have had the opportunity to try computer science, with a chance to explore technology and entrepreneurship. We are looking for any driven Harvard-Westlake student, regardless of experience, who is even remotely interested in computer science.

Eligibility

Harvard-Westlake students from 9th-12th grade. Team sizes of up to four students per team in order to be eligible for prizes.
