LPFI will be holding “Level The Coding Field” youth hackathons this fall to give students (from minority groups underrepresented in computer science) the opportunity to build apps that improve their community while they gain valuable technology skills. What A hackathon is a gathering of people who get together over a weekend and use technology to create solutions. Students will work in teams of five and be assigned two mentors per team to work together and build a mobile app. On Saturday you'll learn the basics of mobile application development, brainstorm ideas to solve real problems in your community and start designing your team's mobile app. On Sunday you'll put the final touches on your app and present with your team in front of a panel of judges. Who Students in 6th - 12th grade who are interested in technology, mobile, tablets, gaming and the Internet from minority groups underrepresented in computer science. Enter individually or request to join with your team (of up to 5 students).
