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, October 30, 2021 from 9-12 EST.   The three hour coding program will focus on designing and coding apps addressing the health of the world’s oceans and its impact on human life.


Three-quarters of our planet is covered with water—and it’s this water that sustains life.  It provides for half of the oxygen in our atmosphere.  This means that every second breath we take comes from the Ocean. But our liquid planet, home to half of the world’s known creatures and plants, is facing multiple threats, 


Join with Random Hacks of Kindness Junior and Devon Savard from The Maritime Aquarium of Norwalk to design and create apps addressing the ways to help save the oceans and the life it sustains. 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). 

Pre-registration is required. The registration fee for the event is $18. Participants may register by going to RHoKJr’s website at

Thank you,
