Health IT
A hackathon with a theme around health.

In the United States, almost half of the adults(46.4%) experience issues with their mental health in their lifetime. Many people also struggle with their physical health, with different conditions limiting what their body can do. In this hackathon, students will work together in groups of 1-4 during this online hackathon to create something that can help people be healthier, mentally or physically. Students may get as creative as they want brainstorming problems and solutions that they will present to the judges.
Not sure what area you want to focus on? No problem, we will be hosting a workshop explaining some possible problems that you can focus on regarding physical and mental health.

What is a hackathon?
