**Short Description:** EasyA is organising a hackathon for students to raise awareness of the Polkadot ecosystem among the developers of tomorrow. Our event will attract students with or without prior coding knowledge and support them so that they can hit the ground running. We aim to get 200 new students developing on Polkadot through this hackathon.

**Objectives:**
- Produce 25 new projects on Polkadot by end of hackathon
- Create a highly-vocal, trained student base who will become powerful advocates for Polkadot as they mature
- Engage with teachers/professors to show them what their students could be building on Polkadot and how they could easily fit it into their curriculum
- Increase awareness and adoption of Polkadot
- Introduce individuals to programming on Polkadot
