Sponsor the 2026 Hack-A-Thon.
Online training begins the first week of November 2026, with kickoff on December 4. Your sponsorship keeps the program free for students from underrepresented and low-income communities, and puts your brand in front of students, parents, educators, and volunteers nationally and globally.
Eleven years of coding, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Since 2021 the Hack-A-Thon has run as a blended program: virtual for everyone, with local in-person hubs where possible. Students in rural areas, where programs like this rarely exist, can now take part. For sponsors, that means a wider audience of students, educators, and industry professionals.

Exposure to parents, community members, and volunteers, not just students.
