Moonhack 2018 data breakdown!
Moonhack isn’t just about breaking records (although we do love when that happens), it’s about bring coding to kids all over the world, and building a global community of creative kid coders!
And these statistics tell us everything about the diverse range of kids that took part in our record breaking event from across the globe. Find who, where and how kids participated in Moonhack around the world below!
This year we had 35,865 kids submit Moonhack projects, breaking our own record for the most kids coding on one day!
55 percent of all Moonhackers this year were GIRLS! Such an amazing achievement for young girls everywhere!
We had kids from all corners of the world participate! Not only in Australia and other English-speaking countries but also in Croatia, Lebanon, Kenya, Afghanistan, Suriname, Brunei and many more! Check out our awesome map below to see Moonhack landing all over the world! 57 countries to be exact.
