About the GooseHacks

GooseHacks is a 36 hour virtual hackathon meant for high school students who are interested in technology. At GooseHacks we are an all-inclusive hackathon for students no matter where they are or where they came from. We welcome students regardless of their past programming experience so even if you've never programmed before we encourage you to sign up because it's a good learning experience! Hackers have full creative freedom of their project and can create anything from games, websites, apps, hardware and more!

Goosehacks will be hosting fun events and activites so hackers can take a break from their project. Want to learn something new? Goosehacks is packed with unique workshops so you're bound to come out learning something new.

Hackers will have an oppurtunity to pitch their project to a panel of judges to compete for awesome prizes! Join us for a weekend of fun, learning and quite possibly sleep deprivation!

Please join the discord server for more updates for GooseHacks: https://discord.gg/2Av7NqYkDc . The server will be used for announcements and schedules for the event.
