We thank our judges for volunteering their time and thoroughly reviewing the projects.

Thank you to every participant who brought creativity, dedication, and enthusiasm to the hackathon. Completing and submitting a Python project is a meaningful achievement, and we hope every participant continues building and learning.

The Build with Python Hackathon was a beginner-friendly online coding event organized by CS4Everyone. It encouraged students to practice Python, explore project ideas, and create something fun, useful, or meaningful. Participants did not need to be experts, and projects did not have to be perfect. The goal was to learn, build, explain their work, and enjoy the creative process.
