Calling all programmers, designers, makers and leaders! TeenHacks LI is Long Island’s premier 24-hour high school hackathon, by students, for students. Take part in group collaboration, interesting workshops, sweet prizes, and more. Get ready to meet new people and have an amazing time. Join our community as we build the future!

Founded by Jeffrey Yu and Wesley Pergament in 2018, we bring together the brightest students across the northeast to engage in “collaborative coding.” We hope to build a hacker community here on Long Island, with an emphasis placed on innovation and entrepreneurship.

Due to these unprecedented times, we will be hosting a virtual hackathon event! Everyone is welcome! To learn more about our virtual hackathon look below.

$560 in prizes

• Technical Skill
  Winners should have projects that took talent and problem solving skills to create. Feats of unique and impressive coding should be rewarded, as well as crazy “hacky” solutions.
• Application/Usefulness
  This is not required, because a hack can win on the merits of just being a super cool hack!
• Creativity
  The more unique and creative the hack, the better! General aesthetics and polish of the hack, as well as the creativity of the concept, count towards this criterion.
• Presentation
  Students should be able to effectively present their projects to the judges. There should be a clear explanation of what the project does and how they got up to that point.
• Overall Intrigue
  This one is really up to the judges’ discretion, but sometimes you see a hack that’s just so cool that it needs to win. If you make something that’s neat in its own right, it falls under this criterion.
