Milpitas High School has long been home to passionate programmers, from web developers to backend engineers. Through Milpitas Hacks, we aim to extend this passion across the Bay Area by hosting a hackathon for high school and middle school students. Participants will unleash their creativity to develop innovative solutions aligned with various tracks, which will be announced on the day of the event.
In addition to competing for exciting prizes, students will gain access to valuable opportunities that can help shape their futures. This year, we aim to welcome over 250 participants, and we need your support to make this possible. Please consider sponsoring us and helping bring this hackathon to life.
