Welcome to CVHS Hacks! 🎉
We are a hackathon group based in Houston, Texas, hosting hackathons for high schoolers. We aim to bring the experience of hackathons — the pressure, exhilaration, and innovation — to young people. 

Our dedication is to our members and the thrill of hackathons, and through this we hope that, together with our members, we can make a difference. 

The challenge is designed to give members a taste of real-world problems that people will have to face, while also creating something to help the community. 
The challenge is ultimately based on the UN SDGs  but will have a unique theme and specifications revealed on the day of the event.
