Pay it forward, Contribute to your community, Become a Hackathon Mentor!

We can't do it without you!

What if I'm not a programmer?

  • It's ok!
  • There are many different careers in the STEM industry, and all of them are valuable to a successful team.  Students can benefit from mentors who come from a broad background. 

Do mentors need to stay the entire event?

  • No!
  • We only ask that you volunteer for a minimum of 3 hours virtually anytime throughout the event, but if you'd like to volunteer for the whole event, that's ok too. 

What's in it for you?

  • Networking- Past years we have had over 70 professionals from the STEAM industry participate as mentors.
  • Learn something by either sitting in on or even teaching a tech workshop.
  • Benefit from the opportunity to solidify your knowledge through answering student questions.
  • An opportunity to influence the next generation of tech professionals. 

When is the next hackathon?

  • Friday, January 6 - Saturday, January 7, 2023
