Code of Conduct

Youth Hack 2025 is a respectful, inclusive space. All participants, mentors, judges, volunteers, and staff are expected to uphold these guidelines.

Be a Good Human 😎

  • Be kind, calm, and respectful—no drama.
  • Respect everyone: teammates, mentors, judges, volunteers.

Safe Space Only ✨

  • Everyone deserves to feel welcome—no hate, bullying, or weird vibes.
  • If someone says “stop,” stop.

Play Fair, Not Sneaky 🕵️‍♂️🚫

  • No copying other teams or sabotaging projects.
  • Build your own magic—this isn’t a spy movie.

Build Stuff That Doesn’t Break the World 🌍❤️

  • Make cool, ethical things—respect privacy, avoid harmful or creepy ideas.
  • Tech for good → always.

Follow the Game Rules 🎮

  • Team sizes, deadlines, submission formats—stick to them.
  • If you’re unsure, ask a mentor instead of guessing.

Respect the Space 🧹

  • Clean up after yourself; this isn’t your bedroom floor.
  • Water bottles go in bins, not left on tables.

Zero Tolerance for Weird/Creepy Behavior 🚫👀

  • Harassment and inappropriate behavior are not tolerated.
  • If something feels off, talk to an organizer ASAP.

Communicate Like a Legend 📣

  • No spamming, shouting, or passive-aggressive messages.
  • Keep it friendly, respectful, and helpful.

Take Care of You 🧃💤

  • Drink water, eat, and take breaks.
  • If overwhelmed, ask for support—we’re here to help.

Have Fun & Build Epic Stuff 🚀

  • Hype each other up and celebrate wins—big or small.
  • Goal: learning, vibing, creating, and making memories.
