Hackathon Topic:

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past year, you should know that inflation is at record levels and that we’re in an economic recession. An economic recession basically means that our economy is in the dumpster right now, stocks are down, inflation is up, and the federal reserve isn’t planning on helping anytime soon.

 

Your task is to build a project to help Americans deal with, manage, or survive this recession. Your project has to have some sort of economic element.
