No experience is needed, but register soon if you’re interested! Here’s the link to sign up: Link
This sounds amazing! Do you know if international students can join too?
Yes, international students can join as long as they’re high schoolers. It’s fully virtual, so anyone can participate!
Sweet, thanks! I’ll check it out.
Are there any requirements for teams, or can we go solo?
You can participate solo or as a team. If you don’t have a team, they might help you find one too!
What kind of projects are they looking for? Just curious!
They’re looking for anything related to health or healthcare—could be an app, a website, or even a device concept if you’re into hardware!
Nice, sounds flexible! Thanks for the info.
Do we need any specific software or hardware to participate?
Not really! They don’t have strict requirements, but some tools like Wolfram might be offered since it’s part of the prizes.
Awesome, I’ll sign up. Thanks!
Is there a deadline to register?
They recommend signing up ASAP since spots might fill up, but you should be able to register up until the hackathon dates (July 29-31).
