The 2025 Bergen Tech Hackathon was a huge success! We wanted to deeply thank you for your support and share a few highlights from the day - we could not have put this event together without you!

This year the event doubled in size with 102 high school students registering from both the Teterboro and Paramus campuses. These students formed 30 teams to compete in the 12-hour coding event. From idea generation to building their apps and projects to final demos, the students impressed everyone involved.
