About the hackathon

The Georgia Tech Society of Women Engineers (GT SWE) is hosting a Hackathon, a 2-day event where high school students have the opportunity to attend workshops and apply the skills they learned by forming teams and competing in a Hackathon!

The following will NOT be part of the program: 3D printing, animal dissections, chemical and/or biological agents,  soldering or other heating elements, and/or utilization of a laser

Requirements

What to Build

Our hackathon has the theme "Hack for Impact." We're looking for innovative and unique solutions that contribute to solving any present-day issue, big or small! However, keep in mind that this isn't a strict requirement; we're accepting any submissions that stray from the theme as long as they are original and exhibit some type of coding knowledge! 

What to Submit

When you submit your project to our DevPost, make sure to answer the following questions with 2-3 sentence responses: 

1) What is the biggest thing your group learned from this hackathon experience? 

2) What was the main challenge your group faced? It can be technical or non-technical. 

3) Is there anything you wish your group could have done differently?

4) What was your favorite part about your group's hackathon experience?
