Ardsley Hacks is Ardsley High School's annual hackathon! High schoolers with any level of computer science experience are invited to participate. You can form teams of 1-5 students (including across different schools) and work to make coded projects related to the theme. Day of, we'll also have workshops and mentors to help you with your projects, as well as snacks, lunch, prizes, and swag! The competition is on March 23, 2025 from 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. You'll present your projects to our panels of judges to win prizes in multiple categories!
The theme for the hackathon is dollars and data! This year’s theme is all about the intersection of finance and technology. You must incorporate this theme into your program, and feel free to be creative with it! How you interpret the theme is up to you! Once the theme is announced, feel free to start your entry before the day of the competition!
This award is for people who have the best written code. Code should be readable, well-structured, well-organized, reliable, and efficient.
This award is for having the best project as a whole. Projects should be innovative and ready to use. Simply the best!
This award is for those who have not been to any hackathons. We welcome coders of all experiences!
A hackathon is an event where teams get together and build a project relating to coding, using software or hardware components, in a short period of time.
Anyone! Everyone is welcome no matter their prior coding knowledge. Hackers must be high schoolers and bring one adult chaperone from their school. If a school staff member is not available to chaperone, a parent may be designated as the chaperone. An administrator from the student's school must fill out this form and include a scanned copy of the designated chaperone's government issued ID.
