What is Parthenon?
Parthenon is a 36-hour hackathon in New York City bringing together 200 high school students who identify as girls or gender minorities. It's the capstone of Hack Club's Athena Award, celebrating months of coding and building!
What am I doing there?
At Parthenon, you'll spend the weekend collaborating with other top high school builders from around the world to brainstorm, code, and ship projects. You'll take part in hands-on workshops, team activities, and a final showcase. Beyond coding, it's a chance to make lifelong friends, grow confidence, and be inspired by leaders in technology.
