Hack The Ridge is Iroquois Ridge High School’s annual hackathon and pitch competition where students collaborate to come up with solutions to real-world problems. The event is taking place virtually, on Saturday, December 11th, 2021, from 9 AM to 9 PM. Workshops and guest speakers will be helping participants to expand their skill sets, which can not only be applied during the event but also onwards. During the event, participants will form teams of up to four people (though forming a team is not mandatory) and have a choice between the following: come up with a creative technological solution to any real-world problem of your choice, or pitch a practical business idea that will thrive in today's demanding ecosystem.
Requirements
Submit the code that you used to create your project and some images of it. Most of the judging will take place in the judging phase which will happen live between 7:45-8:45 PM. There, you will explain your project, how it works, and a demo of the project. If you are not comfortable or if you are unable to do a live demo, a video submission will also be acceptable.
