Our primary goal for NNHSHacks is to help prepare other high school students for the future by providing an opportunity to find problems and build solutions through the scope of coding and computer science skills. An essential element of our mission is to expose students with diverse interests to the practical value of coding skills in a rapidly changing world that has a growing emphasis on the tech industry. In creating a space of collaboration, we are not only looking to create an intersection of traditional school subjects, but to create a place for underrepresented groups to explore coding in a safe environment.
