Welcome to HackJA!
HackJA is a twenty-four round-the-clock innovative program that tests
students’ IT and computer science skills. A two-prong competition
planned by high school students for high school students, HackJA
challenges participants to work in teams to compete in various computer
science challenges. The presence of corporate mentors in this exciting
environment provides students the guidance they need to perfect their
projects while imagining their future in a STEM career. Web designers,
software developers, and business oriented students can all team up to
participate regardless of their computer science skill level. Students
will also attend relevant workshops and receive mentorship from
corporate and college mentors. HackJA is an exciting opportunity for
STEM oriented students to enter with an idea and leave with a tangible
project to work with.
Normally, HackJA is in-person. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, this year
will be virtual running on EST time.. We will provide physical prizes to those who
are comftorable, but otherwise everything is online. For more info about the
event, take a look around the site.
