IoT Hackathon in Camden County
Join us, on April 21, 2018, for a hackathon fun-packed day at the Camden County College.
South Jersey STEM & Innovation Partners (SJSIP) plans to engage the youth in the region in an initiative that will be intrinsically motivating, provide opportunities for them to use technological tools to solve a problem, and to instill in them some basic skills and an endless passion for future STEM activities. The activity needs to involve science, technology, engineering, and math, of course. But it also needs to provide hope, dreams, and the belief in future possibilities for a life that can match the learners’ definition of success. Educating youth on projected workplace trends and providing early introductory exercises that align with future training to meet these needs, will raise awareness and help them to make wise selections for their educational paths.
