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, February 20, 2021 from 9 - 12. The three hour coding program will focus on designing and coding apps celebrating Black History Month.

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.
