Throughout the various collegiate hackathons that I have been to, there have not only been a few high schoolers in attendance, but many of the winners were actually high schoolers! Our goal here is to make hackathons less intimidating to high schoolers who can't code or who are beginners.
Usually at these type of things a lot of them actually prefer to stay up (usually the ones who also attend collegiate hackathons), but many others who need a bit more rest do generally take naps.

Sounds great fun! I'm slightly nervous about encouraging highschoolers to pull an all-nighter though, will there be any rest for them?
