poolesville_hacks is a school-wide hackathon club that aims to host around two hackathons throughout the year. Started by PHS students, the hackathon's objective is to develop creative and technical skills. Participants will design, prototype, and present their projects to a panel of judges and have a chance to win a prize.
Beginners are both welcomed and encouraged. We will have workshops over the course of the hackathon that can teach you the basics of programming. Additionally, we will have a 'Beginners Only' track for you to participate in.
Check out our website to see our FAQs, updates on the critical dates of the hackathon, and more!
