Hack the Mind is a global hackathon aimed at getting people interested in the field of STEM with a focus on the Windsor, Ontario Area. However, anyone can join the event wherever you are. 

The event is very beginner-friendly. We have workshops being hosted throughout March and early April to prepare you with the necessary knowledge to build projects. 

Requirements

Hackers, you are to build a project related to better mental health. You must submit a video ( 5 minutes max ) showing off your project and, if possible, a sneak peek of the code behind it. 

Your project can be a web, mobile app or even a discord bot.
