About

"I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary."

ThetaHacks is a global high-school virtual hackathon occurring from January 15-18, 2021. Anyone of any skill level is free to submit a project that benefits the world around us. Our event is free, with tons of epic swag, events, and more. During our hackathon, you can form a team of up to 4 people to code anything you want! Attend various workshops and speaker events throughout the long weekend, while hanging out in our (discord) community and getting a ton of free swag. And yes, the more events you attend in our hackathon, the more free swag and merch you get.
