HackWell 2024: Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators at Wellington College
Wellington College International Shanghai recently played host to an inspiring weekend of innovation and creativity, as pupils from international schools across Shanghai came together for the highly anticipated HackWell event. Now a beloved annual tradition, HackWell is far more than just a hackathon — it is a celebration of technology, curiosity, and collaboration that aims to inspire, educate, and empower Secondary-aged students.
Over the course of the weekend, participants delved into the world of coding, tinkering, and ideation, working together to develop cutting-edge, tech-driven solutions to real-world challenges. The event fosters not only technical skills but also a vibrant community of young innovators poised to make an impact on tomorrow’s world.
This year, HackWell was even more special, as we had the privilege of welcoming a leading quantum computing expert from NYU-Shanghai, who captivated students with a deep dive into the future of computation. The weekend was further enriched by the presence of an AI specialist from Apple, who worked alongside the students, offering invaluable insights and guidance on their projects. The energy and excitement throughout the event were palpable as participants collaborated across teams, pushing the boundaries of what they thought possible. HackWell continues to grow as a hub for future technologists, and we are proud to watch these young minds flourish as they explore the limitless possibilities of the digital age.
