About the challenge
Hey! We’re CodeKong, a hackathon that encourages any sort of application and development that makes a tangible impact on the real world. We’re looking for full-stack applications to be submitted. Go apes and start coding!
This is run by a student-led organization.
Requirements
What to Build
We’d like you to build a full-stack application that has an impact on the real world. Try to integrate upcoming technologies that you find interesting and simply wow the judges. We’d ideally like it to be a web application for ease of access for judges, but it's ultimately up to you.
What to Submit
We’d like you to submit your GitHub repository for the code, a video of the app demo, and the link to the application.
