    Along with high schoolers, middle schoolers participated in this hackathon where everyone displayed their ideas and innovations throughout the hackathon. Every participant contributed something unique, ranging from innovative app ideas to coding solutions.  This cooperative effort broke down barriers and promoted the sharing of talents and expertise, enriching the projects while also offering an invaluable learning experience for everyone involved.

    We would like to express our gratitude to every student who took part in the October Hackathon, contributed their ideas, and welcomed the collaborative environment. Regardless of a participant's educational level, the event's success was a tribute to their dedication and ingenuity. Congratulations to each and every winner! 

    There was fierce competition, and every creation showed the contestants' commitment to effort and hard work. Every project improved the event's overall success, whether it was through a ground-breaking feature, a smooth user experience, or an inventive app concept. We look forward to future events that continue to inspire innovation and bring together bright minds. 

        We are excited to share the highlights from our recent visit to Watermark Senior Center in San Ramon, California, on October 1st. Our day started bright and early, with our team busily setting up desks and organizing the space to make it feel warm and welcoming. We wanted the seniors to feel right at home, knowing they were in a place designed just for them. One of the best parts of the day was when one of our team members played the piano during the seniors' break. The music brought the room to life, creating a cheerful and upbeat atmosphere. It was wonderful to see the seniors tapping their feet, humming along, and even singing to the music. This simple act of playing the piano brought so much joy and a sense of togetherness to everyone.

        We also spent some time organizing the center. We went through unnecessary materials and packed them away neatly in the attic. This helped to create a tidier and more pleasant environment for the residents and staff. To add to the fun, we set up various games for the seniors. They jumped right in, eager to participate and enjoy some friendly competition. Their laughter and excitement were contagious, and it was heartwarming to see them bonding and making new memories together. Of course, no event is complete without snacks! We made sure there were plenty of treats available, including popcorn, cookies, and fresh fruit. It was great to see the seniors enjoying their favorite snacks while chatting and having a good time.

        Throughout the day, we made sure to be attentive to the needs of the residents. We were there to help with anything they needed and to make sure everyone was having a wonderful time. We also took the opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with the seniors, listening to their amazing stories and sharing some of our own.

        These personal interactions were incredibly meaningful, allowing us to connect with the seniors and show them how much we care. Seeing the joy and appreciation on their faces reaffirmed our commitment to making a positive impact in their lives. We're already looking forward to our next event and are dedicated to continuing our mission of creating a supportive and joyful environment for seniors. We can't wait to bring more smiles and make more memories in the future.
