HackCOVID 4 OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

Welcome Video - Support Our Healthcare Providers!!!

In light of the recent disturbing news regarding the various plights (especially those of a financial nature) of our healthcare providers, this week's theme is SUPPORT OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. Potential ideas to consider are projects that help volunteers find ways to support those in the medical field by providing any of the following:

• Additional lodging/housing for those who need to stay separate from their families
• Childcare
• Cleaning and laundry
• Financial assistance
• Groceries, cooking, food delivery
• Trash, lawncare, and property maintenance
• Vehicle maintenance and services

You are welcome to look up any resources online this weekend to build whatever you want (a mobile app, a website, an analytics project, AR/VR, etc.) for any purpose, as long as it supports everyone in the fight against coronavirus. Feel free to invite any friends and classmates to join you! They can sign up whenever they want at bit.ly/HackCOVID to receive information about future hackathons and educational resources.
