We’re excited to announce that $30,000 in non-cash sponsorships has been secured for Pebble’s FrostByte Hacks, thanks to the generosity and support of our partners.

This wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors who believe in the mission: give students the space and tools to build for impact.

Thank you to:

• Wolfram Research – Providing access to Wolfram|One and Wolfram|Alpha Pro for our top teams
• .xyz – Offering domain names to help students bring their projects to life
• Axure – Contributing full licenses for our design raffle
• AnshKeys – Supporting participants with special discounts
• Pebble Education’s sponsorship team – Behind the scenes and all-in on making this possible

These partnerships don’t just provide prizes. They help students gain access to real-world tools—software they can use beyond the hackathon, whether they’re polishing a project, building a portfolio, or launching something new.

We’re using this funding to expand who can participate. That means:

• More beginner support and tutorials
• Mentorship for students from underrepresented backgrounds
• Prizes that reward effort, not just polish
• Tools that stay useful after the event ends

We believe tech education should be open, practical, and human-centered. These sponsors are helping us move closer to that.

Hackathon #2 starts tomorrow. Thanks to this support, we’re ready to welcome more students, more ideas, and more first-time builders into the mix.

Let’s build something meaningful—together.
