Cypress Bay’s First Ever Hackathon

Presented by SHPE

This isn't just for coders—it's for anyone with an idea and the drive to build it. We live in a time where technical skills are no longer the barrier between an idea and a business. Come collaborate, create, and show what you're capable of.

What is a Hackathon? A hackathon is a competition where groups of people collaborate to create ideas and develop prototypes (websites, apps, or designs) that solve real-world problems. This is how many billion-dollar companies today were created, including Twitter, Zapier, and Tinder.

Event Details:

  • Duration: Tuesday to Wednesday (~1 Week)

  • Teams: Form your own team of 1–3 people.

  • Perks: Food provided, Prizes for winners, and Service Hours!

  • Fee: $5 per person (must be paid to be eligible for prizes).

This is an open event for all students at Cypress Bay High School. No club membership is required to participate!

Requirements

What to Build

You are free to build whatever you want. Specifically, your project should aim to solve a problem or provide a significant improvement to a current solution. Feel free to base your product on the optional prompts from the meeting. If you integrate ElevenLabs into your project, you'll be part of an additional competition to win bigger prizes.

What to Submit

A video of your project going over what it does, what it is for, and what problem (if any) it is solving.
