West Hempstead’s Ram Hackstead, a team of student coders at George Washington School, took part in the Upper Elementary Division kidOYO hackathon on May 6.
A hackathon is a timed event in which teams compete against one another in coding challenges. This year’s competition was a Pirate Contest in which teams had to gain control of virtual territories by completing coding challenges.
The Ram Hackstead team made it as high as third place during the competition, and they won first place for their capital defense project. The West Hempstead School District congratulates George Washington’s coders for their success in this year’s kidOYO hackathon.
