FEEDBACK CORNER
“It was a great experience. And I got to meet new people and I got to learn a lot about green energy.”
Kanza, Hackathon Participant
“This hackathon was a lot of fun. Getting to work with people from different states was really cool. Getting to talk to new people and network with them was really fun.”
Charlee Wieler, Hackathon Participant
“It was really fun and engaging where I wasn't told what ideas to have but make your own and there was no limit. I love how supportive the judges were and didn't care if we couldn't answer their question but helped us understand it. Over all this improved my confidence for the years to come to see that my thoughts and ideas matter.”
Abigail Rist, Hackathon Participant
WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR!!
