Greetings fellow coder,
Our names are Ashay Parikh, Labdhi Jain, and Sohum Bhole, and we are three current juniors/incoming seniors at James B. Conant High School. You may know us from school, Code211, or other D211 events. This time, we are organizing an online, student-led hackathon called “Teens Take On COVID.”
Starting May 18th and until May 25th, we have planned to gather as many teen coders as we can and facilitate a fun competition where you and other teens will build solutions like mobile apps, websites, and hardware devices that address some of the current AND future challenges related to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic!
The reasons why you should join are quite simple:
- It’s free
- There will be prizes
- Teens of all skill levels are invited
- There are no obligations when signing up
- You will have plenty of time to code
- You will be judged by tech professionals
- You can use whatever software or hardware you want
