About the challenge
The HSN Hackathon is hosted and organized by the Girls Who Code Club and HSN CS Club located at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North. This Hackathon is in-person. Our theme for this hackathon is Social Justice so your goal in the hackathon is to build software that solves some issue relating to our theme. The purpose of this hackathon is to provide an opportunity for students to utilize their skills in web development, app development, etc., and create a final product that aligns with our theme. Throughout the event, we will provide workshops and other small events to provide some assistance. These workshops range from a variety of background knowledge, including React, Database Usage (Firebase), How to use API’s, Basic Python, HTML, and Machine Learning.
