Divergent Hackathons

Student-Led. Adult-Supported. Future-Ready.

Fall in Love with a Problem. Build a Solution.

Our hackathons are not simply competitions.

Students are challenged to:

Identify a problem → Understand the people affected → Design a solution → Use STEM & AI → Build a prototype → Test → Improve → Pitch → Startup

Students work in teams around challenges connected to:

Community
Environment
Health & Wellness
Education
Technology
Entrepreneurship
Social Impact

Student-Led. Adult-Supported.

Adult mentors, educators, technology professionals and volunteers provide guidance. Students do the building.

COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS

Experience That Goes Beyond the Classroom

Students leave Divergent programs with more than a certificate.

They develop stories and experiences they can demonstrate:

I identified a problem.
I built a team.
I designed a solution.
I built a prototype.
I presented my idea.
I led other students.
I learned from failure.
I improved my solution.
I created something that matters.

This is the type of experiential learning that can help students demonstrate leadership, initiative, collaboration, innovation and problem-solving in college and career settings.
