Helix Hacks II Offical WebsiteWe love inspiring!
Helix Hacks is a hackathon designed to inspire and empower young coders to pursue and develop their programming skills. Over the course of 30 hours, teams up to 4 participants will work to develop a software project that helps to solve a real-world problem.
Due to quarantine, we have converted to an online hackathon so that our participants still have the same opportunity to learn and explore. We guarantee the same amount of fun, experience, and opportunity despite the hackathon being virtual.
THEME: COVID-19 Pandemic

You can create anything that would relate to and help the pandemic. Some ideas are listed below. *Note: it is NOT mandatory to follow our theme but we stongly suggest that you do.
