TeenHacks LI is Long Island’s premier high school 24-hour hackathon, by students, for students. On behalf of our diligent organizing team, we are all about bringing together the brightest students across the tri-state area to engage in “collaborative coding.” We hope to build a strong hacker community across the East Coast, with an emphasis placed on innovation and entrepreneurship. Together, we can find the solutions of tomorrow and Hack For Our Future!

$11,500 in prizes

• Technical Skill
  Winners should have projects that took talent and problem solving skills to create. A project need not be finished to show skill; demonstration of impressive sections of the code and algorithms are enough to qualify them.
• 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.
• Application / Usefulness
  While this is not required, big bonus points if you design a feasible system for getting something done! Any sort of tool or social good hack can fall under this criterion. Think of how your project applies beyond the scope of this hackathon.
