What is Milpitas Hacks?
A Hackathon is a weekend-long event where students (in teams of 1-4) compete for prizes, attend workshops, and most importantly, build meaningful projects.
Who can participate? Does this cost money?
Milpitas Hacks is open to high school and middle school students in grades 7-12—no prior coding experience is required! The event is completely free to attend, and all food (lunch, dinner, and snacks) will be provided. If you've graduated from high school, you cannot participate, but you can help out by volunteering for the day. Also, Milpitas Hacks is totally free to attend, and all food (lunch, dinner, and snacks) will be provided.
What should I bring?
Bring a laptop, a charger, a water bottle, and anything you might need. Food will be provided, but you may bring your own as well, especially if you have food allergies.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
No problem! Fill out your dietary restrictions in the application form, and we will try our best to accommodate food options for you. However, we do not guarantee that these accommodations will be made for you, so it is recommended you bring your own food if it is a serious health concern.
Where and when should I arrive?
Check in at the Milpitas High School Theater (the side of the D-building with the theater entrance). You can arrive late, but please inform the organizers and have your team arrive before you so we can save your spot and you don't get replaced by people on the waitlist.
I don't know anything about coding. Can I still participate?
Nope! You can develop whatever you want, but for track-specific prizes, make sure to build a project related to the track.
Can I arrive late?
Yes, but please make sure to inform organizers and have your team arrive before you so that we can save your spot and you don't get replaced by people on the waitlist.
