About PyraHacks 2023

This is the first of its kind: Anti Hackathon! The objective of each team is to ship as many projects as possible in the 48-hour window. This is a fast-paced and ever-changing competition that will require participants to be on their A-game the entire time while also being fun for beginner programmers. The whole hackathon score will be live-streamed all 48 hours on Twitch in addition to our special guest speakers, workshops, and other learning opportunities. There are generous individuals and organizations pledging to donate to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital per project shipped in this hackathon. PyraHacks is open to any type of student whether they be in middle school, high school, or college! There will be a lot of extra fun activities and prizes at PyraHacks!!!

What to build

PyraHacks is different from your average hackathon at PyraHacks the goal is not to create the best project, but as many projects as your team can in the 48-hour time span!
A team must create as many projects as they can.
A project must have a defined purpose based on an original idea.

Judging Criteria

As Many Projects as Possible
Projects must have a definite purpose in solving real-world problems. However, this is a beginner-friendly hackathon so maybe a project is as simple as making a simple web page informing users about specific cancer.
