Project Submissions
Cool as hack is a free Hackathon for Secondary school students, supported by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Held right here in Cambridge, Cool as hack is a hackathon where you get to work on the coolest projects you can, and then show them to the world in their global competition, Coolest projects.
Aged 11 to 18 only (secondary education).
Please check out our website at https://coolashack.youthacks.org.
Food, drinks, snacks, and swag are all provided. All you need to bring is a laptop to code on, a charger and a cool project (or idea)! We will try to accomodate any Allergens and Dietary requirements - just let us know.
In the past, we have organised other really fun events! We've organised Scrapyard Cambridge and Scrapyard London, hackathons where people make the stupidest stuff possible, as well as Counterspell Cambridge, a collaborative game jam.
Reach out to us! All of our events are Adult supervised, and our Raspberry Pi Foundation Staff have safeguarding training and are DBS checked. For more info, they can also check out the Raspberry Pi Foundation's safeguarding page.
Cool as Hack is open to all secondary students (11-18 only)! Even if you have limited experience in coding, you can still participate. We need people who like making things, and collaborating with others. Let's all learn and create together!
Sign up at our website: youthacks.org/cool. You'll need to fill in a waiver too (with your parents, unless you are 18), and complete some additional information.
