Some Participant Highlights:
- “Participating in my first hackathon was nerve-wracking, but my passion for problem-solving outside of math kept me excited.. Every stumbling block became an opportunity to explore multiple solutions. This hackathon, especially since I coded on my birthday, is a memory etched forever.” – Hackathon Participant, Grade 12, Namibia
I am walking away as second place in this Hackathon, even though I am still beginner to coding. I am also walking away as a person who has learned a lot more about coding and teamwork. I will definitely try to start trying out more coding features and more competitions with teams. – Hackathon Participant, Grade 7, California
“Coding is much harder than you would expect, but if you follow through, you can do so much!” – Hackathon Participant, Grade 8, Georgia
“I’m going to continue to practice and get used to code.org, the website I used to create my app. I am also going to participate in more Hackathons, I found this experience really interesting and I want to work more with people my age to change the world and use tech for the better.” – Hackathon Participant, Grade 9, Michigan
