Great job, Coding Club!
At the beginning of the school year, founding members of the Coding Club, juniors Felix Yang, Alek Stefanov, Sig Kukla and sophomores Clara Sun and Sally Tan, began to plan a hackathon event for their Mt. Lebanon middle school peers. Members Maxim Baran, Katie Ding, VIvian Luo, Lucian Mikush, Sutter Smith, Thomas Ranney, Jacquelyn Tang, and Michelle Yang worked alongside the club's officers to prepare the first Mt. Lebanon High Hackathon.
Coding Club officers and members worked to locate resources, create an event plan and instructional materials (including presentations and rubrics), and develop a website hub for all of these things. Check out the website HERE
It was impressive to watch the brainstorming and problem solving in action.
Great job, Everyone!
