VERSO HACK is a guided hackathon, where students (ages 13-18) from anywhere in Thailand come to gain fundamental tech skills and entrepreneurial mindsets. They will collaborate with their peers and meet other aspiring student entrepreneurs.
No prior experience in coding, technical skills, entrepreneurship, or business is necessary to join VERSO HACK. However, it is recommended that students have some basic knowledge of using computers & apps.
During the hackathon, students will be given a challenge or a business problem to work on and create either a new solution or technology to respond to that challenge.
All fundamental skills will be taught to students on-site as part of the program to ensure that teams have a great learning experience and develop skills the world's best entrepreneurs all have!

At end of Day 3, the participants, parents, & guests will come together (social-distanced) to watch the Shark Tank-like pitch of the students' ideas to some of Thailand's movers and shakers in the field of technology and innovation. Our participants will receive incredibly valuable and customized feedback so they can continue improving even after the hackathon is finished.
Our Masters are startup founders, entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors who have been invited to coach and mentor our participants and share their expertise. They will be visiting the teams to support them with their pitches, give feedback on their ideas, challenge them, and answer any questions they have.
VERSO has once again partnered with Reactor School, Singapore's #1 Startup School for Student Entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia, to ensure our VERSO HACK 2022 is built on-top of Southeast Asia's best hackathon model.
Last year over 50 students from Thailand worked on their challenge statement "What would you like to experience in the school of the future and how would you design learning to be more fun and engaging".
At VERSO, we strive to continue empowering students to develop a wide range of skills and mindsets needed to navigate this increasingly unpredictable future, follow their passions, and build the confidence to lead their own journeys.

The VERSO HACK is a really nice concept and I enjoyed the icebreaker activities. It has been a great experience. By attending this hackathon, you'll gain unique skills, which you may not get in a classroom, and learn how to apply them to different situations.

I found the VERSO HACK to be an open-minded and creative space for learning. It was a new, fun, and exciting educational experience for me that I don't think I would have experienced anywhere else. I had the opportunity to connect with many other students and enjoyed working both individually and as a team on a project.

The VERSO campus is amazing and looks super futuristic. I met some very talented, passionate, inspiring, and motivating people. It's been an incredible experience. I have learned a lot and my favorite part of VERSO HACK is interacting with all the people who I wouldn't have met if I didn't come here. Be prepared to be blown away!
G12 Student
VERSO is a cool place and VERSO HACK has been so much fun. I have met so many people and learned so many things. My favorite part was designing the prototypes. My takeaway was that you should always listen to people's ideas and not always be in an argument!
