About the challenge

What is a problem in your community that you want to tackle? Hack for Good provides an opportunity for Bellevue School District middle school students to learn, collaborate with others, and sharpen their coding skills! You can compete individually or in a team of up to three to create an impactful tech solution. We will have workshops open to all BSD students in the weeks leading up to the hackathon, as well as live Google Meet Q & A sessions during the event. There are also prizes, and the first 50 people to register will receive a swag bag. Bring a positive attitude, and let's have some fun!!

What to Build

You can build your project (game, website, app, etc.) on any platform. Examples include Repl.it, Scratch, and Visual Studio Code. For your submission, please provide a link to your code and pictures or videos of your work such as screen recordings.

In addition, record a two minute pitch explaining your project, and upload your pitch to YouTube and include the link in your submission.
