8th Annual HACKATHON

Cosmetology, Barbering, & Beauty Industry

Hackathon App Challenge

Since 2015 CodeCrew has offered a two-day Hackathon aimed at inspiring teamwork and civic engagement for students. For the first time, we are adding a kick-off event on Friday, July 29th from 5 PM - 7 PM. Teams are tasked with building a mobile app around a specific topic. Past topics have been, student health, school safety, human trafficking, fitness, and civic pride. These broad topics allowed teams to create applications based on what the challenge topic meant to them. In the end, teams produced a wide range of apps related to the challenge topic.

 

After being virtual for two years, this year's Hackathon is back in-person! Students in grades 5th-12th can work as a team with up to four members. This year's theme is on the Beauty, Barbering, and Cosmetology industry. We are asking entrepreneurs and industry professionals to provide feedback on how an app can help their business or the industry. Scheduling, money management, and client management are just a few areas students can consider, and create a mobile app to help navigate, understand, or improve these and other areas that touch on cosmetology, beauty, and barbering. The topic is intentionally broad so as to not limit students' creativity.

Check out our last in-person Hackathon in 2019!
