About

Hack Ridge is about building your crazy ideas, putting to work your creativity, ingenuity, and willingness to learn, and creating a product in 24 hours.

On April 10th, 2020, we will bring together over 200 high school students from the Chicagoland area as one of Chicago's premier high school hackathons.

Attendees at Hack Ridge have worked on all types of projects, from virtual reality games to machine learning to wooden catapults. The only limitation is what you want to create! Through workshops with industry professionals and help from mentors, we guarantee that you will leave with a project. Plus, you will have a ton of fun doing so!

Admission is free: apply today!
