Stellar Hacks

Stellar Hacks is a student-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to making STEM more accessible and impactful for youth. We organize large-scale, immersive hackathons and technology-focused competitions where middle and high school students build solutions to real-world challenges in areas like AI, sustainability, healthcare, and accessibility. Our events combine team-based innovation with expert-led workshops, mentorship from industry professionals, and a prize pool of over $3,000. Each season, Stellar Hacks brings together 100+ aspiring engineers, coders, designers, and entrepreneurs to collaborate, compete, and learn—regardless of prior experience. From hands-on learning to project pitching, students leave our events with tangible skills, resume-boosting accomplishments, and real connections to STEM professionals and peers. Beyond competition, our mission is rooted in social impact. All proceeds from Stellar Hacks are donated to CRY India (Child Rights and You), a nonprofit supporting access to education, healthcare, and basic rights for underserved children. To date, we’ve raised over $3,000 for CRY India and are committed to using STEM as a force for equity and change. Whether you're a first-time hacker or a future founder, Stellar Hacks is more than an event—it’s a launchpad for young innovators who want to learn, build, and create change that matters.
