March 27-28，2021
FutureHacks 2021 is a free virtual coding event for children from 7 to 15 years old, one of the only hackathons specifically for elementary and middle school students. Participants will create projects using Scratch, Python and Java with AI under a time limit, and present to a panel of judges. This is the perfect place for children to develop a passion for computer science and showcase their skills.
The future is something everyone looks towards with optimism. We invite you to create a project or game using any of the eligible programming languages that can either help society move into the future or simulates life in the future.
Mini lessons
In these classes, students will be introduced to important blocks and coding logic, such as broadcasting and receiving messages, conditionals, loops, and variables. With each session, students will create a small project they can use to demonstrate their newly acquired skills.
These sessions will introduce important machine learning and artificial intelligence concepts, such as image recognition and natural language processing. Students will have access to machine learning models which they can train and implement with Scratch.
Students will be introduced to important Python concepts and coding logic. Python is such an important language because it is so readable and perfect for beginners. Students will create a small project they can use to demonstrate their newly acquired skills.
Through these classes, students will learn the basic concepts of Java, such as effective coding, nesting loops and other basic coding concepts. Most of this will be conceptual since the students may not have access to the necessary coding platforms.

Introduce the challenge
Hold mini-lessons and teach cool coding concepts
Will be spaced out so participants can attend all if they wish
First Scratch+AI minilession will be introducing how to create models and using the blocks
Participants have from after the kick-off meeting to Sunday morning to work on their
project
They are allowed to submit multiple projects
We will regroup at times so participants can ask others for advice and share their progress
Projects must all be submitted by Sunday morning
Everyone will present to a panel of judges, who will move on the top 20% of projects
These finalists will present their project to the judges again in front of everyone
Held sunday afternoon
Prizes handed out to the winners
Encourage participants to continue coding and sign up for our classes as well

Hackathons are the perfect place for students to discover and develop a passion for computer science. They give students an opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends.
Participants can win awards for using their creativity and problem solving skills! The range of awards that will be given is listed above and registering is free, so it’s a win-win situation.
Hackathons are great places to meet people who have similar interests as you and to have interesting conversations about such computer science related topics. Participants will be able to meet and work with others who share their passions and interests!
Participants will have fun coding, attending workshops, and playing games. This is a great way to get into coding, since everything is online and easily accessible!
Usually hackathons are for high schoolers, but not FutureHacks! FutureHacks is one of the few coding competitions offered to middle and upper elementary school students. It is a great learning opportunity!
Participants will be able to present their projects to a panel of judges consisting of experts in the computer science field and students from top universiities. They will receive quality feedback from people who have experience in this field!
