About the challenge

Welcome to Engen Learning's first-ever week-long hackathon! Engen Learning is a non-profit organization aiming to educate students across the globe in subjects not usually taught in schools. Engen Hacks is a branch of Engen Learning providing a hackathon preparatory course for scenarios like this!

Workshops

Throughout the week of September 2nd to September 10th, we will host panel workshops on Zoom with students from top universities such as Stanford University, Cornell University, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz.

Requirements

What to Build

This year's theme is... EDUCATION! Engen Learning is a platform tailored to educate students across the globe, so it only makes sense to have our theme as education. Create an application or website; everything else is entirely up to you! You can use your creativity to submit the best project that you can think of.

What to Submit

Submit a link to your application/website and a video demonstration of you sharing your screen with your microphone on, talking about the key features and how you developed it. Make sure that this project has been created only during the time that the hackathon is open (Sep 2 to Sep 10).
