Are you interested in improving your teamwork and creative thinking skills? EMP is hosting Health IT, a hackathon about solving health-related issues. Our hackathon takes place over the span of 4 days, from the afternoon of Friday, January 15 to the morning of Monday, January 18th. Participants will be able to cooperate with their teammates to pick a solvable issue related to the topic and create their own innovative, tech-related product to solve the issue!
During the hackathon, teams will research, design, and create their product. There will also be student-driven workshops, giving the participants a chance to learn about technical skills and soft skills to aid their product.
Eligibility
Anyone may participate in this hackathon. There are no limits for age and location, however, the team size max is 5 members. There are 2 divisions, one for 4-7th graders and the other will be 8-12th graders. OUR HACKATHON REGISTRATION HAS ALREADY ENDED. ONLY SIGN-UP IF YOU HAVE FILLED OUT THE HACKATHON REGISTRATION FORM.
