Tiger Tech students announced they will be holding a ‘Hackathon’ that will be open to all students to compete and learn basic programming skills.

The competition will ask students to create an original winter-themed game or animation in the programming language, ‘Scratch.’

According to junior and Hackathon coach Clay Boyd, the competition is a good place to start for students with little experience.

“It’s for beginner-level computer science students and just anyone who really wants to do it,” Boyd said.

The winner will receive a 3D-printed award. An informational meeting for all interested will be held during the single lunch on Dec. 5 in RM 937. The Hackathon will take place after school on Dec. 7, 8 and 14.
