All students middle school and above, join us for our first ever hackathon presented by CodeEdu! WinterHacks 2023 invites hackers of all experience levels to create a project that solves any one of UN's 17 goals. We encourage you to team up with others to create an app, website, widget, extension or even a machine learning model. You may create an entirely new project or leverage off of existing ones to create your very own masterpiece.

Requirements

What to Build

You may create a design/mockup that fully develops your ideas or you may create a functional project from code. Any apparatus that fulfills the aforementioned requirments will be acceptable (UN's 17 goals).

What to Submit

Submit a video (3-5 minutes) that fully explains and tests out any functionality of your project. Be sure to submit any code in the form of a public Github™ repository.
