Northland Hackathon
Minnesota's biggest free hackathon for high schoolers.
Preview

The mission: make computer science accessible to kids in rural Minnesota who otherwise never get a shot at it. Started in 2022. 100% volunteer-run, 100% free. To reach students in Greater Minnesota, Duluth, and the Iron Range, we ran billboards across the state, mailed physical flyers to every public high school, and emailed MN science and math teachers. Students build real projects from scratch in a single day. 4 years running. Returning in 2027.
