About #HackAgainstHate

Today’s students have grown up against a backdrop of heated political rhetoric and sharp religious divides. Traditional approaches to conflict resolution have failed to combat societal problems. The new generation of leaders, all digital natives, are using technology to forge positive intercultural discourse.

In the #HackAgainstHate Hackathon, students from religious day schools representing various denominations will develop their skills in programming, engineering, fine arts, entrepreneurship, and communication as they create apps and software tools that dissolve barriers between different religious and ethnic groups. During this multi-day event, participants will work in small groups and receive mentorship and coaching from top thinkers in the fields of technology, design and business. Top entries will receive soon-to-be-announced prizes. This is a special opportunity for students in grades 7-9 to learn about potential career paths and hear from some of the world’s brightest minds.

During this two-day hackathon attendees will:

  • Design, create, make, and pitch an app or software product that works to unite different faith and ethnic groups
  • Interact with professionals from leading companies in the fields of science, technology, and business
  • Meet new friends from diverse religious, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds
  • Pitch a product to a VIP panel of judges and win prizes
