Expectations from StudentStudents don't need previous STEM, coding, or robotics experience.
Students can form teams on their own or STEM1 will be able to assign teams to them based on the Grade level and school information. If you would like to form your own teams, each student must register separately and must be from the same grade.
We would expect students to have access to a computer, internet, and some basic stationery and household items to complete the challenges.
Each team in the Hackathon is led by our Trained Team Mentors. They will be providing a Google Meet link specific to the team and also a group on the website where they will share information and updates.For general updates about Jr.Hacks 2021, follow our Instagram handle - @stem1ca
