WAForge is made by four passionate high school students. We saw a lack of opportunities for young developers to connect with other developers and thought, "What better way than a hackathon?" So we decided to make one! A hackathon is an event in which you get a limited amount of time to create a piece of software. WAForge is a hackathon for young middle or high school developers. Our goal with WAForge is to bring talents from different schools together to create a culture of innovation, learning, and connection within the younger generation.
When: February 24th and 25th
Where: Digipen Institute of Technology
Who can attend: Any middle or high school student in washington that is passionate about software development
