About Us

BHSS Hackathon is an event organized by the Competitive Programming Club at Bill Hogarth Secondary School aiming to teach students about technology and innovation!

The way this event works is we will be giving you a prompt, and your goal is to create a creative application that follows that prompt!

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced coder, our hackathon offers workshops and a collaborative environment to help you bring your ideas to life.
