More than 300 high school students from Cleveland, Columbus, and Elyria will take part in the eighth annual TECH CORPS Hackathon.

Students lead the experience, working in teams to solve challenges, test ideas, and build technology solutions. Along the way, they connect with industry volunteers who circulate throughout the space, offering guidance, feedback, and perspective.

Together, students and volunteers create an environment where collaboration and problem-solving take shape. Students leave with stronger skills, greater confidence, and a clearer sense of how they can use technology to solve challenges.

No experience needed.
