HackTheLib comes to an end...or does it?

Hey everyone,

  The wait is finally over! All submissions are in and have been judged, winners are up on the website, and the hackathon is coming to a close. All the winners will be personally contacted regarding their prizes.   We want to thank you all for being part of HackTheLib. Every single person that came and learned, created, and competed at HackTheLib is awesome. A lot of our participants were beginners, special shoutouts to you guys for learning on the fly and still submitting some really cool projects!   The hackathon is over, this means that there's no more competition, but you should still always be learning and creating! For this, we have our workshops recorded and still up on our website, and a few partners that want you to take your projects further than just this hackathon:   Elevate the Future: Elevate the Future is inspiring the next generation of creators and innovators. We provide young students with invaluable introductions and lessons in computer science and business. These topics are at the crux of our society, and an early exposure to computer science and business will spark a passion in students' young, impressionable minds and provide them with a direction that they can follow throughout the remainder of their academic years and beyond. An early sense of direction within a student is critical as it allows them to focus their educational and extracurricular pursuits. Through our lessons, we will instill this sense of direction within each student we reach and set them up for a brighter future.     Elevate the Future is looking for volunteers to help build websites from small businesses, for this program they are partnering with Google and Kiva. This is a great opportunity to get volunteer experience as well as connections at huge companies!   RallytoUs:
