Welcome to GenZ Can Hack, where high school students aged 13 to 19 are invited to showcase their coding prowess! As we gear up for the Tech Titans Trophy Night 2025, our aim is to engage young minds in a thrilling hackathon experience. GenZ Can Hack 2025 isn't just any coding competition; it's an opportunity for Canadian youth, born between 2006 and 2013, to unleash their creativity, problem-solving skills, and innovation in a collaborative environment. We're excited to witness teamwork and ingenuity as participants tackle challenges and push boundaries. To all our participants, we wish you the best of luck!
Requirements
What to Build
Both SC4K and Kids for Kids Toronto Coding Club share a commitment to environmental sustainability. Our collective mission is to instill awareness in children as young as 4 years old and channel their innovative ideas and volunteer efforts toward the preservation of our planet.
The theme for GenZ Can Hack 2024 is Marine Debris.
Design and build a robot using Arduino or Raspberry Pi, programmed in languages such as C or Python, with integrated AI capabilities.
What to Submit:
This is an in-person hackathon, so participants must arrive at the venue on time and begin working on-site. Development time is from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, followed by a 30-minute break. Presentations will then begin in front of a panel of three judges.
