Apply for us to run a fully-funded Python Hackathon in your Classroom!

Our new Python Hackathon scheme.

Rho Zeta AI is pleased to have received funding to launch a new tech outreach initiative, our Python Hackathon scheme, where we run a 3-hour long Python Hackathon for your organisation with max 30 young participants, enabling them to gain realistic professional experience and develop vocational skills. Our available funding allows us to deliver 10 of these hackathons free of charge for recipient organisations through the 2023-2024 academic year.

To best allocate these 10 fully-funded opportunities we welcome organisations working with less privileged young people to apply to our Python Hackathon scheme by filling out the Application Form below. Eligible organisations could include state-funded schools, non-profit organisations, community interest companies (CICs), amongst others. Organisations can apply for and receive max 1 fully-funded hackathon per scheme period.

We aim to make and inform you of our decision whether to offer your organisation a fully-funded hackathon within 2 weeks of submission. If successful we will also confim the necessary next steps.
