About LyonHacks
Welcome to LyonHacks II, a 48-hour hackathon!
LyonHacks II will start on April 15th at noon and will end on April 17th at noon.
A hackathon is a programming competition that challenges teams to design and pitch a software application to our panel of judges. During LyonHacks II, teams will create a code-based project that falls under one of the themes, to be released at the start of the competition period. The hackathon will also feature workshops and guest speakers to help build useful skills.
All Ontario middle and high school students ages 13-18 are invited to compete, forming teams of up to 4 students. In addition, there will be more than $250 in prizes to be won, generously sponsored by the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario!
