About This Course

Are you ready to put your coding and tech skills to the test in a fast-paced, fun-filled day of innovation? Join us for a Hackathon Day Camp, where young innovators work in teams to solve exciting real-world challenges using code and technology.

Participants will tackle 2-3 hands-on challenges during the camp:

1. Robotics Challenge: Teams will design and program robots to complete a task.
2. Physical Computing Challenge: Incorporate sensors and other hardware elements to solve a problem using coding and physical computing.

Each team will use creative problem-solving to develop an innovative prototype that addresses the day's theme or challenge, which will be revealed at the event. By the end of the day, participants will have had the chance to collaborate, learn, and showcase their projects.

Benefits of Participating:

• Skills Development: Learn new technologies and boost your coding and problem-solving skills.
• Networking: Connect with like-minded peers and potential collaborators.
• Innovation: Hackathons promote out-of-the-box thinking and rapid prototyping to solve real-world challenges.

What to Expect:

• Morning mini-exercise to introduce concepts or technology.
• Hackathon challenge announcement with rules and guidelines.
• Teams will have time to collaborate, build, and code their solutions.
• Teams present their functioning prototypes to the judges.
• Judges select winners and provide valuable feedback to all participants.

Come ready to create, code, and collaborate in this exciting, innovation-driven experience!
