Every year, ScriptEd students, volunteers and staff come together for an all-day Hackathon.

The theme of this year's Hackathon is DARE, EXPLORE, DISRUPT. 

Over the course of the day, students in ScriptEd Foundations classes collaborate in teams to build interactive web-based projects around the general theme of exploration and innovation. 

At the end of the day, students will submit their projects for two rounds of judging, and the winners take home some awesome prizes!
