Free: Hackathon for kids - Google Home App by The MADE and PJMan & The StarGazers

Ever participated in a Hackathon?  Ever created an App?  Come out and learn how to create an app for Google Home.  You know, that little device you speak into and it answers your questions. Remember the Jetsons?

Veda Guess, Director of Education, from the MADE (Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment) and a group of volunteers will lead this Hackathon.  We'll start out with the adults for an overview of the Hackathon process and what to do to make an app, then we'll (kids) break out into our own groups of 1-4 team members or stay together as a group.  Sonja C. Stewart, PMP and Donna Jacobs from PJMan & The StarGazers Kids will guide the kid groups.  As much as possible, we'll empower the kids to develop their own app, of course, we'll start with a simple project plan, determine roles and then let the fun begin.

Top submissions for adults and kids will be submitted to Google Home.

Hackathon is an event where people come together to code something.  In this case, we're going to learn how to code an app that will work on Google Home (the voice tool that allows your to ask it questions and it gives you answers using your voice to control it).
