Hey hackers!
As the event nears, the IvyHacks team is working super hard to make sure everything is perfect for you. Apps close this Sunday the 27th at 11:59pm Eastern Time, so if you haven’t gotten a chance to submit your application yet, do so now on our website! We will be sending out rolling acceptances as soon as possible, and have thousands of students from all over the world registered already. As for clarification, students do NOT need to attend one of the co-hosting schools in order to apply. We are looking for all high schoolers 16+, undergraduates (2020-2025), and graduate students to participate! Open internationally. Come join us!
As featured on our Instagram, our keynote speakers include Michael Seibel (CEO of Y Combinator), Luis von Ahn (CEO of Duolingo), Sue Harnett (CEO of Rewriting the Code), and Li Meng Lee (CEO of Razer Fintech). Check out our website for a full list of speakers! Sponsors are still being added to our website, but we have exciting opportunities for you to connect with them (maybe even secure an internship or full-time role through our career fair 👀).
