About the Challenge
Create a project to benefit the Achieve Organization!
Requirements
What to Build
Participants must develop a functional and innovative solution that helps the Achieve Organization. Participants can build projects in any format:
- Volunteer coordination
- Q&A Forum
- Student progress tracker
- Scheduling Assistant
- Tutoring Platform
- Translation Service
- Educational Game
Submissions ideally should be relatively easy for the judges to figure out how to get running. If your project's environment is very complicated to set up, we would recommend that you include some instructions for the judges. These don't need to be perfect, though, and the judges will try their best to get it to work.
We look forward to seeing your submissions!
