STEMist Hacks II JULY 21-23, VIRTUAL Sponsorship Prospectus hacks@joinstemist.org joinstemist.org/hacks What is STEMist Hacks? STEMist Hacks is a weekend-long online hackathon hosted by STEMist Education on the Devpost platform. With experienced industry professionals as mentors and workshops, participants with any level of experience can participate - although it is a student-only hackathon. Last year, we held our first iteration of STEMist Hacks, and it was quite successful. At the time, it ranked in the top 10 most popular hackathons, and we're excited to do it again this year. Why Sponsor? Past Sponsorship Last year, 15 gracious sponsors decided to lend a hand and donate their services or prizes to our hackathon. Not only are they featured exclusively on our devpost page and in the emails we send out, but certain sponsors can also set up their own workshops or advertising slots during the opening ceremony. Distribute Merch You will be able to distribute merchandise, allowing hackers to display your logo on shirts and stickers. This doubles as free advertising, and helps promote your company to the next generation of hackers. Increase Awareness As our participants are mainly high schoolers, who are often unfamiliar with the tools they need to succeed in hacking, and by sponsoring us, you'll be able to provide our hackers with an impactful first impression and increase awareness about your company. Where will your money go? Your money will go towards supporting costs that are associated with this hackathon. It will go towards prizes, swag, fun events, and hiring mentors for our hackers to help them succeed in making a great project! STEMist Education is a 501(c)3 nonprofit so all donations to STEMist Hacks are tax-deductible.

Outreach STEMist Hacks has reached a wide range of participants because it is online - 150 participants from 20 different countries internationally joined us for our weekend hackathon, some completely across the world from us. However, our hackathon is only a subsidiary of our parent organization, STEMist Education, which in turn has impacted hundreds of students close to home in the Bay Area. Previous Sponsors
