Subject: Youth Hacking 4 Freedom: 4th round of the programming competition for European teenagers
about to start
Dear Hack42,

Youth Hacking 4 Freedom will start with a new round on January 1st, 2025. Registration is now open
for teenagers between 14 and 18 years who are currently living in Europe. Run by the Free Software
Foundation Europe, Youth Hacking 4 Freedom [https://yh4f.org] is a programming competition for
young Europeans between 14 and 18 years old that offers the opportunity to design and develop their
own project using Free Software and win up to 4,096 Euro.

Please help us to spread the message to as many young Europeans as possible to make them aware of
YH4F.

Everybody participating in Youth Hacking 4 Freedom is getting something out of the competition.
Participants have the chance to meet our Free Software experts of the jury and discuss their
project ideas with them. The teenagers can also interact with each other, meet other like minded
and nerdy teenagers from Europe and build friendships that can last a lifetime.

The 2025 competition starts on January 1st 2025, and ends on June, 30th 2025.

Participants can register here for the opening event and Youth Hacking 4 Freedom 2024:
https://yh4f.org/register

Throughout the competition the FSFE guides the teenagers through the 6 month programming period. We
have regular Thursday evening meetings in which we discuss how to use git, how to document your
software, and many more subjects with the participants. At Youth Hacking 4 Freedom, participants
not only improve their programming skills from beginner to advanced, but also learn how to work on
a 6-month project, developing organisation, time management and project planning skills. It also
gives them a chance to be creative and develop something they really like, as well as the pride of
developing their own project.

You can find all the information in the YH4F media kit on our download server:
