City of Raleigh Teen Hackathon 2019

If you are a student in grades 9th- 12th who lives in the City of Raleigh area, you are invited to attend the City of Raleigh 2019 Teen Hackathon. A hackathon is a design-based and team-oriented event. Members of the event are broken up into teams and attempt to utilize technology and other resources to create prototypes and a plan of action to begin solving this issue. This event provides youth with the opportunity to discover possible careers in technology via hands-on interactive activities. The goal is to show individuals on how to utilize their interests and ideas in technology that can be useful in their community and eventually their future careers.
