Participants in Youth Hack

Jugend hackt is a hackathon for young people between the ages of twelve and eighteen to promote young programmers, which has been organized by the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany and the association mediale pfade.org - Verein für Medienbildung since 2013 . The aim of the events is to get young people excited about software and hardware , as well as to convey the ethical basics in dealing with information technology. The motto of Jugend hackt is: "Improve the world with code".

Origin and history

The first event took place in Berlin in the Prenzlauer Berg district with around 60 young people. In 2014 the number of participants increased to around 120. In 2015, in addition to the Berlin event, four regional events were held for the first time in Hamburg , Dresden , Ulm and Cologne . In 2016, Jugend hackt was held for the first time in Austria (in Linz ), in Switzerland (in Zurich ) and South Korea (in Seoul ). For 2017, Jugend hackt recorded a total of around 570 participants. Were additionally added Frankfurt , Hall , Hong Kong , Taipei and Tokyo .

In 2017 the events took place in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, Cologne, Ulm, Halle, Zurich, Linz, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Taipei, in 2018 there were events in Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Halle, Cologne, Schwerin and Ulm. 2019 in India, Sri Lanka, Cologne, Schaffhausen / Switzerland, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Korea and Japan, Heidelberg, Linz / Austria, Ulm and Halle / Saale.

An event usually takes place over a weekend. To participate, you only need a little background knowledge and a general interest in programming, as each participant chooses his project and tasks himself and is supported by volunteer mentors. During this time, the young people implement hardware or software projects in groups and present their results to the public in a final presentation. The young people are taught the idea of open source so that they can publish the source code of their software under a free license .

Projects

The hardware or software projects that are created as part of Jugend hackt are collected on hackdash.org, the source code of the projects is mostly published under a free license on GitHub at github.com/jugendhackt or GitLab at gitlab.com/jugendhackt. The projects deal with everyday problems of young people up to complex social problems, for example some of the young people developed the project awearness in 2014 , which is supposed to warn of surveillance cameras using a 3D-printed armband . In 2017, the ShitHub project was launched, which aims to collaboratively check program code for security gaps and other problems. The latter project - like some other youth hacking projects - will continue to be developed after the hackathon has ended.

hello world

hello world is a program launched in 2017 for beginners aged 10 and over. The helloworld workshops are compared to the events usually without night and the participants will be guided by the educators and mentors more. In 2017, 40 workshops were held in North Rhine-Westphalia thanks to funding from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia , and in 2018 there were regular workshops in Linz and North Rhine-Westphalia . Hello world has been an independent project since the beginning of 2019 , with Jugend hackt still being a network partner and joint events with both programs.
