Event tracks

⠀

Health

Bring the doctor’s office into our homes! Projects on this track could utilize wearable technology for patient monitoring outside the clinic, or enable a patient to schedule a consultation with their doctor over an app. They are typically concerned with ensuring the well being of the user, either mentally, physically, emotionally, or all three.

Environmental

Build a project that would make Mother Nature proud. Projects on this track utilize technology, especially hardware, to combat some of the world’s most rapidly growing environmental issues including global warming, pollution, and the energy crisis.

Civics

Create a hack that leverages technology to improve the way our community, society, and government function. Projects that fall into this track often aim to unite different walks of society and enable users to take civic responsibility into their own hands. For example, tackle issues like voter turnout or develop tools to aid grassroots campaigns.

Ellen Yang

Hi, I’m Ellen, a sophomore at Newton South High School in Newton, Massachusetts. When I’m not coding, designing, or listening to aggressive amounts of Drake, I’m probably blogging, taking pictures for Instagram, or working on my digital media and marketing company, Elysia Media. I also play lacrosse, compete in congressional debate, lead my school’s Future Business Leaders of America chapter, and have a fatal weakness for cheese fries.

Sasha Hussain

Hi, I’m Sasha Hussain and I attend Foxboro High School, in the town and home of the Patriots. I got into coding during my first hackathon, and have been doing it since. I love getting involved in my community by playing for my cross country, track, and lacrosse team or playing the violin for my symphony, string, and chamber orchestra. I’m involved in a couple of clubs in my school including science, math, MUN, model senate, and a club that I started called Pen in a Box. I will win any dance battle and am called the queen of rap. I’m super excited to help run this event and can’t wait to inspire other people to start coding through hackathons
