About


Ridge Hacks is a Local Hack Day organized by MLH and Iroquois Ridge High School, other schools all over the world will be simultaneously hosting their own Local Hack Day, resulting in the largest day of student hacking ever. A Local Hack Day is a 12 hour event (similar to a hackathon) focused on learning computer science skills by creating a small project during those 12 hours. Learn more about Local Hack Day.

Ridge Hacks is for anyone who wants to learn more about computer science, participants work on a small project in optional teams of up to 4 which they demo at the end of the day for a chance to win. Best of all, Ridge Hacks is completely free!
