NGN Hacks 2026

NGN Hacks 2026 is a worldwide online hackathon for high school students in Grades 9–12 who want to build, learn, and create something meaningful with technology. This hackathon is open to beginners and experienced hackers. You do not need to be an expert coder to join. The goal is to learn, work with others, solve a real problem, and build a project you are proud of. Participants can create projects in areas like artificial intelligence, education, sustainability, health, productivity, accessibility, finance, cybersecurity, and other creative technology ideas. NGN Hacks is designed to help students gain real experience, improve their skills, meet other motivated students, and build something they can add to their portfolio, resume, or university applications. 1. Register for the hackathon on Devpost. 2. Join the NGN Hacks community and check for updates. 3. Form a team or compete individually. 4. Read the rules, judging criteria, and prize information. 5. Choose a problem you want to solve. 6. Build your project during the hackathon. 7. Submit your project before the deadline. You can work alone or with a team. Your project does not have to be perfect. What matters most is that you show creativity, effort, problem-solving, and a clear explanation of what you built. The hackathon will run online from August 7 to August 9, 2026.
