Description

Calling all middle and high schoolers! As the summer comes to an end, we are hosting another virtual hackathon from 9/4 to 9/6, Labor Day weekend. You may remember us hosting our first EmP hackathon Health IT; now we are hosting EcoHack, a hackathon about solving environment-related issues, such as global warming or endangered species. EcoHack is the second EmP Hackfest, a series of hackathons hosted in conjunction with EmP. Participants will be in teams of 5, working together to pick a solvable issue related to the theme and create their own innovative, tech-related product to solve the issue. During the hackathon, teams will research, design, and create their own original product! There will also be student-driven workshops, giving teams a multitude of chances to learn about technical and soft skills in order to aid themselves. The prizes will include a total of $240 worth of gift cards. Are you interested in improving and practicing teamwork, time management, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and presentation skills? Would you like an opportunity to collaborate, connect, and work to solve real-world problems? Come and join us, you may sign up here! The deadline to sign up is Wednesday, September 1st. Feel free to contact us if you have additional questions! We hope you enjoy!
