[Barbara Johnson]

> From Patrice Gans:
>


> I would like to take this opportunity to invite your students to
> participate in Random Hacks of Kindness Junor’s  upcoming virtual hackathon
> scheduled for Saturday, September 25, 2021.
>
>
> The three hour coding program will focus on designing and coding apps
> addressing the ever increasing number of endangered animals.  There are
> about 2 million different species on Earth. The data suggests the growing
> number of endangered species by year is nothing to scoff at. It shows that
> between 0.01–0.1% of all species are lost annually — that’s about 200 to
> 2,000 extinctions every year.
>
>
>
> Join with Random Hacks of Kindness Junior and Friends of Animals to design
> and create apps addressing the rise of endangered species and ways to help
> slow it down. Experience first hand how you can use technology to create
> positive change.
>
>
> Using Zoom, students will work in pairs with mentors to create prototype
> smartphone apps (using the online app block programming language, APP LAB
> from Code.org). This is not your traditional hackathon where the
> objective is a finished product.  No prior coding experience is required.
> The core mission of our program is to expose girls and boys to kindness and
> social good through the lense of technology. We are more interested in the
> creation of technology, specifically the ideation and design process as it
> applies to a local community nonprofit.   We focus on the soft skills of
> collaboration and cooperation.
>
> Pre-registration is required. The registration fee for the event is $18.
> Participants may register by going to RHoKJr’s website at
> https://rhokjr.org/event/hacking-for-endangered-species/.
>
> For additional information I can be reached at reesegans at gmail.com
> Thank you,
> Patrice
