KiwiHacks is a free 24-hour hackathon run by teenagers, for teenagers. If you're 18 or under, come along to meet new people, learn new skills, and build something awesome together.


Held at the GridAKL / John Lysaght Building, KiwiHacks brings together 100+ students for a full weekend of creating and experimenting. You can build any coding or hardware project you like - apps, games, websites, robots, or something totally different.


Throughout the event there will be mentors and beginner-friendly workshops to help you get started or solve problems along the way. Free Lunch, Dinner, and Breakfast the next day + Snacks & Drinks are all provided, plus there are free t-shirts, swag, and prizes for some of the best projects.


It's an unforgettable weekend of coding, creativity, and collaboration, and all skill levels are welcome.


What to bring: laptop, charger, toiletries, sleeping bag (if staying overnight), and an open mind. We'll have limited tools, a 3D printer and soldering station available.
