Ideas Hackathon Years 5-9
5 year levels + 80 teams + 2 days = a heck of a thinktank!

What is the purpose?
We know we are on a mission to effectively prepare our students for the future. We know that creativity, global citizenship, entrepreneurial thinking and 21st Century Skills are imperative to this mission. The Hackathon supports this by allowing us to:
- – Give as many St Paul’s students as possible the opportunity to learn, apply, and reflect on the entrepreneurial frameworks
- – Give as many St Paul’s students as possible the opportunity to enter, enjoy, and engage with the entrepreneurial pathway
- – Expose our students to working with various ages, backgrounds, interests, and skills
- – Allowing our students to work on authentic problems and challenges that face our community and industry
- – It’s a fun, dynamic, fast paced, and energetic way to develop their teamwork, leadership, and communication skills
