hackBCA V is the long-awaited return of hackBCA’s classic hackathon format that will take place on February 13-14, 2019 for approximately 250-300 high schoolers. The event will be open to people of all skill levels, and will include hacking, workshops, talks, and games.
Sponsors get the opportunity to:
Help introduce computer science to high school students who would otherwise live their lives viewing programmers as magicians
Be there to help high school students overcome challenges as they enter the programming world
When students later start new projects and continue to program, they will already have experience with your products and recognize your brand
Have your company’s swag (i.e. merchandise) distributed to hackers
Send a mentor and have your company represented at the hackathon
Encourage use of your product/services/API
Field questions from students, and talk to potential users of your product
Demo your product or talk about your company at the beginning of the event
Interact with some of the most talented high school computer science students in the nation
Recruit students for internships or jobs
Advertise your brand to high school students
Have your company and logo listed on our website, our t-shirts, and be mentioned at the kickoff, and on our social media pages
