Hack-a-Solution is a Hackathon organized by Frisco students (Tushar Jain, Manay Divatia, Mihir Nakra, and Devlin Lee) to challenge your skills with an aim to raise awareness of world issues through technology.
We invite anyone (middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students) to attend our FREE 24-hour hackathon on July 30th - August 1st, 2021, to put their skills to the test, learn new skills, connect with professionals in the tech industry and students that share similar interests, gain hands-on experience, and explore the world of technology. There will be workshops and mentors to help you along so no experience is required.
With the cancellation of multiple STEM programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a demand among students for new opportunities to innovate and create meaningful products that solve global problems.
Hack-a-Solution focuses on 3 main tracks: general, health, and community. Participants must develop projects in one or more of these tracks - more information at https://hackasolution.org!
Join us and explore everything Hack-a-Solution has to offer.
Requirements
All students must choose from one of these tracks:
General - Creativity is vital to success. This track includes any projects that don't fall under community or health. Feel free to let your creativity shine!
Health - The healthcare industry is absolutely vital at this time, along with maintaining personal health and fitness. For this track, create products that help at-risk individuals, support healthcare workers, or help people improve their mental and/or physical health.
Community - With the current conditions happening socially such as fake news detection, it is important to spread awareness. For this track, create products which will spread awareness about current conditions.
Submit a video of your team walking through your program (website/application) and post it to youtube and provide the link here.
Unless organizers decide otherwise, all submissions submitted after the deadline will not be considered in the judging.
