{LVL1} Hack The Track High School Hackathon

[Raj Shah]

Some of you may remember my nephew Ajay Sutaria as he's come to LVL1 over the past ten years or so.  Most recently he worked on his ISEF projects quite a bit at the space where some of you graciously talked with him and offered advice.  He even made sure to acknowledge LVL1 and its members when submitting his presentations and papers.  Well, starting last year he and his colleagues began running their own hackathon called "Hack The Track".  He asked me to invite all grade 8-12 students to join him for this year's event, which focuses on sustainability.  If you could forward this to any parents or students you think would be interested they can compete for hundreds of dollars in prizes.  Last year was very successful and you can find media and details at the link below.  Hack on!

Hack the Track 2026 is heading to Louisville on September 11–12 at Genuine Work in NuLu! This free, two-day Learnathon and Hackathon invites students in grades 8–12 of all skill levels to team up, connect with mentors, and build solutions for a more sustainable future across Hardware, Software, and Sustainable Fashion tracks. If you know a young maker, student, or tinkerer ready to turn ideas into working projects and compete for cash prizes, share the link and have them sign up at https://www.hackthetrack.org (https://www.hackthetrack.org/).
