This project was created by a group of talented high school students as part of the QueenB Hackathon organized by Microsoft. QueenB is an initiative focused on promoting women's involvement in tech and supporting gender diversity within the tech industry.
The theme of the hackathon was "Be Good," and it aimed to encourage participants to create technological solutions that benefit society. Teams from across Israel participated, presenting their projects in front of Microsoft programmers.
The students' project is a basic website designed to assist elderly populations by providing them with easy access to helpful resources and information. The site aims to make digital tools more accessible for senior citizens, helping them navigate technology with ease.
I had the privilege of mentoring the team throughout the process, guiding them in the development of the website and during the hackathon itself. The group worked with dedication and creativity to create a solution that embodies the spirit of "Be Good." For most of the students, this was their first exposure to coding, and they showed impressive progress and enthusiasm throughout the journey.
