If you are a student at any school in grades 5-12 and love to brainstorm, create, and solve problems...come to St. Luke's Hackathon. Stay for a while or the whole 30 hours. Give it a try!
Make it Better is our Hackathon theme and a call to action: Find a way to make the world a little better—for humanity, yourself, your dog or a random stranger. All you need to do is identify a problem, begin imagining how to solve it, and you're well on your way to hacking. You then have 30 hours to begin to make your idea a reality!
The Prospector Theater—and their employees known as Prospects—may provide inspiration. The Prospector is a first-run movie theater providing meaningful employment to adults with disabilities. In fact, 75% of Prospects identify with a disability. Prospects will present at the start of the Hackathon, sharing how they make the world a little better and where they could use a little help.
Hackers will have the option of tackling challenges raised by Prospects or working on their own unrelated ideas. Learn more and register.
