Hackathons are competitive coding events where teams have limited time to develop a solution to a real-world problem using technology. In teams of 4, students will work together to build a project and pitch their solution to a panel of judges for the chance to win awesome prizes. Overall, hackathons are here to provide a supportive environment with free food, mentors, and awesome activities to help you learn and succeed!

This event is absolutely free to attend. Get ready for free swag, food, and lots of fun!

A valid ID (like a school ID), signed and completed waivers, a laptop, charger(s), sleeping bag/pillow (optional), toiletries, and layers—the venue may be chilly! Our venue will be on lockdown throughout the night and we will have security. Attendees are recommended to stay overnight! If you are unable to stay overnight, please contact a Superposition organizer to make special arrangements. You must be signed out by a parent.

All female-identifying, trans or non-binary high school and college students are welcome to come as an attendee. Although we do NOT accept males as attendees, we wholeheartedly welcome all genders to volunteer as a mentor, workshop leader, judge or Campus Ambassador!

We encourage people to work in teams of up to four. Additionally, there will be icebreakers in the beginning to help you find a team! You are not required to sumbit a hack, but there will be workshops and mentors on-hand to help you.
