<h3>Join Youth Hacking 4 Freedom</h3> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Are you up to hacking on a software project of your choice? Do you want to |
|
meet like-minded people of your age from around Europe? What about getting |
|
the chance to receive one of our cash awards and to travel to Brussels to |
|
meet the other winners and great people from the Free Software movement? |
|
Then join the YH4F competition! The only conditions for you to join are that |
|
you are <em>14-18 </em> years old and you live in Europe. Start by |
|
<strong>registering before Sunday, 31 October 2021</strong>. |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
We are dedicated to offering an inclusive environment in the |
|
YH4F, and we would like to encourage teenagers of all genders to |
|
join! We will make sure everyone will enjoy the process and will |
|
leave this competition with added knowledge and a smile. |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<h3>Decide yourself what you code</h3> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
There is no set challenge or topic for the software you should develop. |
|
Embrace your imagination and create what is the most interesting to you. It |
|
can address an everyday problem you have, or it can be just fun. It can be a |
|
standalone program that you write from scratch, or you can modify and |
|
combine existing programs. <a |
|
href="/activities/yh4f/faq.html#what-type-of-software-should-i-make-">The |
|
possibilities are endless</a>. A vital condition for the competition is that |
|
the program should be <a href="/freesoftware/freesoftware.html">Free |
|
Software</a>, so that others can use, study, share, and improve the code in |
|
the future. |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<h3>Take the time you need</h3> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
From Monday 1 November 2021 to Thursday 31 March 2022, you will have five |
|
months to come up with an idea for a Free Software program and write it. |
|
During the <a href="/activities/yh4f/faq.html#2-coding-phase">coding |
|
period</a> you will be invited to an online group meeting, where you and other |
|
participants can briefly follow each other’s work, exchange ideas, and share |
|
problem-solving tips. You can also communicate on your own, using the <a |
|
href="/activities/yh4f/faq.html#can-i-chat-with-other-participants-">chat |
|
room</a> in the YH4F space. |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<h3>Present your program to top experts</h3> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Your software project will be in good hands, as it will be evaluated by Free |
|
Software experts. <em><a href="/activities/yh4f/jury.html">Our jury |
|
members</a></em> excel in software development and are deeply involved in |
|
the Free Software movement. At the same time, they are excellent people to |
|
work with. After you submit your program, you will have the chance to |
|
present it to them, as part of your evaluation. This is a nice opportunity |
|
for you to discuss your idea and your achievement with experienced people in |
|
the field. |

Forty years ago, Reinhard Wiesemann won a hacking competition for young |
|
people. He used the money from his cash prize to advance his professional |
|
development. Now Youth Hacking 4 Freedom is financially supported with |
|
donations by Reinhard Wiesemann, Linuxhotel, and Vielrespektzentrum. |
