Calling all students age 13-20, adult designers, programmers and other problem-solvers looking for a challenge!
Bring your ideas and join Prince,
#YesWeCode and Qeyno Labs July 3 - 6th at the Essence Festival.
Our focus is to provide an encouraging and electrifying environment where everyone works together to build greats apps centered around education, environmental sustainability, restorative justice, music/entertainment and health/wellness.
At the end of #YesWeCode Hackathon, participants will walk away with a sense of accomplishment, inspired by experiencing what is possible when brilliant people get together to solve problems.
Wait, what is a hackathon?
Hackathons gather together technologists (coders), artist (designers), problem solvers (innovators) and industry/area experts (students, teachers, parents, activist, community leaders, YOU) to build a web or mobile app that can change the world, create a business, or both!
Hmmm, what if I don't know how to code?
While we're calling it a hackathon, we're explicitly welcoming everyone, regardless of their skill or talent. At our hackathon, we are combining professionals, mentors and youth to collaborate on building technological tools that can transform their hoods.
What's the focus?
The focus will be on the following tracks:
Education | The education track focuses on issues related to achievement of people of diverse ethnicities and economic backgrounds and can include topics related to college readiness, access, completion and career guidance.
Environmental Sustainability| The sustainability track challenges participants to create an app or design solutions that preserves our environment and encourages personal practices such as recycling, resource sharing, garment collection and redistribution, energy efficiency, and water conservation.
Restorative Justice | Restorative justice seeks solutions related to preventing the criminalization of economically disadvantaged people, and strategies that empower ex-offenders to transition from the prison wall to successful members of the community, and provide valuable intervention resources to high school or college dropouts.
Music & Entertainment |
Health & Wellness | The health track focuses on issues related to the public health of people of diverse ethnicities and economic backgrounds such as improving wellness, increasing diversity in the medical profession.
