Harmony Hacks

New Website

Harmony Hacks is funded by the National Science Foundation to broaden the participation in computing. This semester Harmony Hacks will be run by the Harmony Hacks student club to create inclusive, beginner-friendly events for high school students combining computer programming and music in problem solving. Participants will work in teams and under the guidance of college mentors to devise creative ways of hiding textual messages via music and to build computer programs that implement these creative ideas.

Harmony Hacks builds on the successes and lessons learned from the Women’s Hackathon, taking into consideration the unique schedule challenges faced by busy high schoolers and their need for support due to relative lack of experience.

For details on upcoming events and ways to get involved, visit the student-run club website:

We are looking for high school students who are imaginative, creative, and out-of-the-box thinkers. They just need to be excited about technology and/or music, regardless of their skill levels.
