Alpha x Blastoff Hackathon (for kids!)
No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to build.
The Alpha x Blastoff Community Hackathon is a free hands-on building event for kids aged 7–11 in the San Francisco area. In a single afternoon, participants work in small teams to take an idea from concept to a working product. Teams move through a simple four-stage process: defining a problem, building a basic prototype, improving it with feedback, and presenting the final product to the group. The event ends with short team presentations and awards.
Each team is guided by Alpha student leaders (3rd and 4th graders) who act as coaches, helping teams stay organized and move through each stage of the build. The goal is simple: give local kids a fun, structured opportunity to build something real and share it with others.
