Are you a beginner programmer looking for a fun hackathon to join? Look no further! Join the We Care Hack hackathon hosted by We Care Act NYC, and help make a lasting impact on education accessibility for all while also working on your programming skills!

We Care Act is on a mission to bridge the technology gap and provide equal opportunities for all students. So far, we have empowered over 200 students by granting them access to personal computers, advancing their academic pursuits, while also diverting over 1,200 pounds of electronic waste and raised over $90,000 in donations.

In order to further our mission, we are calling on all students with interests in coding to come and join our hackathon! You will be able to connect with like-minded people and be able to develop better coding and team working skills, and potentially win cool prizes!
