Would you or your Recognized Student Organization be interested in winning up to $1,000 of prize money for participating in a fun event that will help you make a change in a Nebraska community?
If so, you should participate in the Curriculum Hackathon Feb. 22–23 hosted by Initialize. Groups of 4-5 people will compete to build interactive, STEM curriculum for elementary school students.
Groups — you can have multiple groups for one RSO — will have two competition days to come up with an idea for a curriculum and a prototype for what it would look like in action in a classroom. Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided both days, as well as materials for any interactive activities your group may wish to create.
For the winning groups, their curriculum will be taught in after-school clubs around the state and country, and they will receive ample cash compensation for their RSO. In addition, more money can be earned after the competition for perfecting the winning curriculums — e.g. fixing errors, adding additional lessons, etc.
Initialize is a University of Nebraska–Lincoln student organization with the mission of using computer science to serve the community and build professional skills.
