Why do we want to organize EuroHacks?

Hack Club is an esteemed organization that brings together high school students from across the globe who share a deep passion for creation and innovation. Within Hack Club, a diverse group of individuals - ranging from organizers, coders, and hackers to painters, engineers, musicians, writers, and volunteers - unite to foster a dynamic community. This collaborative spirit is exemplified not only through the Hack Club Slack, where members engage and connect but also through hackathons.

Hackathons serve as an exceptional platform to gather individuals with a common enthusiasm for coding and creativity. They offer a unique space for collaboration, learning, and technological innovation while strengthening bonds within the Hack Club community.

However, despite Hack Club’s global presence, no hackathons are currently being held in Europe, as Hack Club’s activities are primarily based in the United States. We, the organizers of EuroHacks, believe it is time to address this gap. With this in mind, we are planning a hybrid, decentralized satellite hackathon across multiple cities in Europe, scheduled for July 2025.

Our vision for EuroHacks

Creativity is a universal trait, and coding serves as a powerful medium for its expression. Through EuroHacks, we aim to unite individuals in the pursuit of developing remarkable projects that showcase their innovative potential. It is through the ingenuity and creative efforts of young minds that transformative change can be broughtabout in the world.

To foster greater inclusivity and accessibility, we are organizing EuroHacks as a series of decentralized hackathons across Europe, allowing participants to engage without the need to travel beyond their respective countries. Furthermore, the hybrid nature of the event enables individuals to join remotely from the comfort of their homes, providing a unique opportunity to witness the creation of exceptional projects across the continent.

Our awesome organizing team

EuroHacks is organized by a team of high-schoolers from all over Europe united by the goal of allowing young innovators to bring their ideas to life and be part of something greater. As most of us have been part of Hack Club for years we know from inside that creating a community of young individuals interested in Computer science is very beneficial for our community and them. Having programs from different parts of CS is what makes this community special. That is something that all of us have experienced by participating in programs/hackathons/internships in Hack Club. Our commitment to inclusion, access to technology, and creative collaboration drives us forward and is demonstrated by our close collaboration over the past few months to create this complex and creative event.
