On November 10th, 2017 TeenTech Washington will hold its third annual Techathon. The event is open to teams of students from grades 6 though 12 in the Puget Sound area. The goal of the Techathon is to engage participants in civic problem solving through the use of modern technology.
Teams will spend the day working to create technology solutions for real-world problems. We call it a Techathon, because it is open to any use of modern technology you can imagine. This could be programming, circuitry, 3D modeling, photo editing, or anything else. No experience is required and tech-industry professionals will be onsite as mentors for the entirety of the event. At the end of the event, teams will have the opportunity to pitch their project to a panel of judges, and the winners will have the opportunity to submit their projects to the TeenTech Wold Pitch, a global competition.
The event is completely free, with a light breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks provided. Regular supplies, such as paper, pens, scissors and glue, will be available on site, and teams should bring their own computers and any specialty electronics they think they may need.
