Welcome to our first 2022 FreshHack, where DCL STEM Academy students participate in this 48-hour-long coding journey! Whether you're in biomedical, engineering, or computer science, join us to pour your creativity and skills into a project created with code. Pairs will be allowed. Any school appropriate project will be built, whether that is a website, app, video game, etc. For any questions on coding, we encourage you to use your research skills (there are tons of tutorials out on the web)! You may also email the hosts for any questions. An opening ceremony will take place on April 1 at 5 P.M. via Webex, where event information will be discussed and any questions will be addressed. Participants will begin coding at 6 P.M., and the submission deadline will be April 3 at 6 P.M. The closing ceremony and winner announcement will take place on April 3 at 9:30 P.M. WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING LATE SUBMISSIONS, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Requirements

  • Project may be coded with any programming language.
    • Recommendations (you are not limited to these): HTML, JavaScript, Python, Java
  • When submitting code, you may attach a github repo as a ZIP file (preferred) OR you may just take a screenshot. 
  • Submit the link where your project can be accessed.
