Given COVID-19, there is an urgent need for new tools to address the new problems created by this unprecedented situation. We have formed a virtual hack where students and industry professionals come together to identify and address pandemic related issues and to come up with solutions to positively impact people’s lives.

Requirements

To submit your project to our Hackathon, you are required two deliverables: a demonstration video and a code submission. The demonstration video has a 3 minute max and you can just submit the link during project submission. Think of this video as your elevator pitch and utilize it to show off what you've worked on. For your code, just upload all the code/design/materials you worked on over the competition in the form of a zipped file. Feel free to add GitHub links, research, you've done, etc.
