About the challenge

 

We're hosting a week-long virtual hackathon to inspire creativity and introduce the fun of competition. The hackathon can be completed by anybody over 13, ranging from participants who have no experience in coding to advanced programmers. The submissions open on October 4, 2024 and they must be submitted by October 13, 2024.

Requirements

What to Build

Our hackathon aims to be inclusive to beginners and allow those who have little to no experience in coding to participate in this event. That being said, we encourage participants to make their project regarding improvement of their community. It could be anything, ranging from a device to better the education of nearby schools to creating an app that helps connect local volunteers with community service opportunities. Make sure to be creative with your project, and have fun!

What to Submit

1-5 minute video explaining and demonstrating your project that you have made. Additionally, please create and share a GitHub repository with all the files containing work you have done for the hackathon, including things like code and slides used for the presentation.

Submission update: You could also Turn in a website itself as a submission
