San Diego's tech industry is booming, but there aren't enough easy-access opportunities for middle and high school students to get involved. Educational initiatives that do exist too often fail to get students excited about technology—instead, they perpetuate misconceptions that coding is too difficult or boring and ultimately deter students from pursuing careers in tech. So how can we introduce greater digital literacy into our communities? It’s simple: bring high-quality coding opportunities to students' doorsteps.

Hack the Wave is a San Diego-based hackathon run for high schoolers, by high schoolers. We invite kids passionate about tech from all over Southern California to come together for 12 hours, where they can build software or hardware projects from scratch and compete for cool prizes. All experience levels are welcome!

Requirements

PROMPT: Make something that is simultaneously useless and high-effort. That is, don't make something like a button that does nothing. Be creative and have fun!
