A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest or codefest; a portmanteau of hacking marathon) is a design sprint-like event; often, in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, domain experts, and others collaborate intensively on software projects.
basically, a 24-hour code party (sometimes more)!
expert mentors on site to provide guidance
work on a project with a team of 1-4
submit projects to win prizes (iPads, Nintendo Switches, free flights)
no experience needed - breakout sessions designed for beginners

Closing Questions
Closing Questions
If you could go back to your Elementary or Middle school years what additional supports do you wish you would have had to help you succeed now?
At what point did having this problem or issue make you want to take action?
Is there something you wish you would have learned or done in Elementary or Middle school to help you with this now?
Is there a teacher/staff member in Elementary or Middle school that impacted you to take a risk or try new things? If not, that is ok, we are just seeing if there was anyone in earlier years that could get validation from something they did years before
