MHS Hackathon

Learning how to code and computer science is an essential skill to prepare for the ever-changing world. This grant will expand experiential learning opportunities for students in the MHS Computer Science Club through a two-part initiative: (1) hosting the inaugural MHS Hackathon, and (2) supporting the development and deployment of student-built applications using industry-standard tools like AI, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure. This grant will allow students to translate theoretical concepts into real-world problem solving by working on fast-paced programming challenges and collaborative development projects. Hosting a hackathon locally will increase accessibility and expose a broader range of students to coding. App deployment training will provide firsthand experience with cloud platforms and modern software workflows.
