<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.

|
||
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.
