Overview
EurekaDev is a 5-week online innovation competition open to high school students worldwide that combines the spirit of a science fair with the creativity of a hackathon. Participants can code or research projects in diverse categories and present their work in a final symposium. Along the way, students will attend weekly workshops, hear from industry professionals, and gain valuable skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and pitching.
Whether you’re an experienced builder or a complete beginner, we encourage you to join! You can compete individually or with up to 4 teammates. Throughout the competition, there will be workshops and guest speaker panels covering computer science, AI, medicine, and more, so everyone has the chance to learn, innovate, and pitch their ideas.
