" Today was wonderful!! Thank you to all of those mentors who helped create this event [OYOclass hackathon]. This really helped our students get into a Hackathon mindset! "

John Heron

NYS Master Teacher, Long Island Region, New York

" It was a great experience. I love that students get a chance to collaborate with each other. Coding during a Hackathon involves so much more than just code - the communication, collaboration and problem solving that are inherent in the competition are invaluable experiences for our students. "

Daniel Stiglitz

Coding & Technology Teacher, Bellmore Merrick Schools, New York

" The hackathons for us have become a great way to showcase what students are creating in classes. They create an opportunity for them to work together in a way that most coding activities don't provide. The quick thinking and problem solving wrapped around the 3 hour time limit to create their projects leads to some amazing work. We have added our own Hackathons where we compete against our other middle schools, which allows more students a chance to participate. This also is a great way to bring the students together in a way they wouldn't have otherwise. The students and coaches look forward to the hackathons every year and we are constantly finding new ways to refine how we compete, which is what it is all about, always iterating! "

Dina Merolesi

Teacher, Manhasset School District, New York

" The OYOclass hackathons are where the magic really happens. Every student becomes deeply engaged—diving into themed challenges that require research, critical thinking, strategizing, organizing, creativity, and collaboration. The structured curriculum opens the door to new-age learning, helping students make meaningful connections between what they learn in the classroom and how they apply it in the real world.They collaborate and deep dive into research and find understanding to apply to their projects.
