Important Update: Code4Hope 2025 Hackathon Format Change

Hey Code4Hope participants!

We’re excited to share an important update about Code4Hope 2025:

Due to changes with our venue, Code4Hope 2025 will now be held in two rounds:

Round 1 (Online): June 20–22, 2025
All registered participants will compete in a 3-day virtual hackathon. The top 12 teams from Round 1 will be selected to advance to Round 2.

Round 2 (In-Person): July 10, 2025 @ Microsoft Office, Times Square NYC
Only the top 12 teams from Round 1 will attend and present their projects live at Microsoft NYC.

Registration Fee Update
We’ve simplified the payment process!
Everyone must pay a flat $5 registration fee to participate in the hackathon.
This covers both rounds — no additional fees required for Round 2.
Any payments over $5 will be treated as donations to support Code4Hope’s mission.

If you’ve already paid the original $15 fee, you’re fully registered — and the extra amount will be counted as a generous donation to support Code4Hope. If you’d prefer a refund of the difference, feel free to email us and we’ll be happy to assist.

Please note: Any payments made after the time of this update exceeding the $5 fee will be non-refundable and considered a donation. Thank you for your support!

Please make sure you've:

  1. Completed the registration form

  2. Paid the $5 fee via the Payment Portal

Thank you for your flexibility and continued support! We can’t wait to see what you build!!

For any questions, reach out to us on Discord or at team@code4hope.net.
