PeddieHacks is a 48 hour online hackathon hosted by the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey. It is open to all high school and college undergraduate students and is a competition where novice and experienced programmers work together to design solutions for real world problems and participate in workshops. Even though we are unable to host an in-person hackathon, we hope to make this just as interactive and exciting, so sign up for 48 hours of coding, learning, and fun!
