Our Vision & Mission
Our Vision
To ignite a spark in every student to discover their potential as a creator, problem-solver, and entrepreneur through technology.
Our Mission
The Bergen Tech Hackathon empowers high school students to bring their ideas to life through 12 hours of collaborative coding, mentorship, and hands-on learning.
We accomplish this by:
Creating Memorable Experiences
We provide an immersive day where students build real projects, overcome challenges, and celebrate achievements together.
Embracing Inclusivity
No experience required. We welcome students of all skill levels, offering opportunities and recognition that ensures everyone, from first-time coders to experienced programmers, can succeed.
Fostering Real-World Skills
Students work in teams, solve authentic problems, and develop critical skills in teamwork, communication, and innovative thinking that prepare them for any career path.
Building Community
We strengthen relationships among students, educators, families, industry professionals, and sponsors.
Inspiring Future Leaders
We inspire students to realize that they are creators, not just consumers, fueling their ambition to drive change in the future.
