What was Code4Hope 2025?

Code4Hope 2025 was our first-ever hybrid hackathon, hosted by Code4Hope—a non-profit dedicated to empowering young innovators to tackle global challenges through technology. The event unfolded in two rounds: Round 1 was a 3-day virtual hackathon from June 27–29, 2025, where all registered teams competed remotely. The top 12 teams then advanced to Round 2, an exclusive in-person finals on July 10 at the Microsoft Office in Times Square, NYC, where finalists pitched their projects live to a panel of expert judges. Each team was assigned a fictional company and tasked with building a solution within one of four global tracks: sustainability, health, education, or finance. Throughout both rounds, participants gained access to mentorship and workshops from industry professionals. The event was a tremendous success in fostering innovation, collaboration, and real impact.
