May 2020 - Healthcare & Medicine
This May, our Hackathon theme was Healthcare and Medicine. We invited students to join us in celebrating our healthcare workers and spreading awareness for their important hard work during this time. As usual, participants surprised us with how they designed projects to match the theme, and use their coding skills to bring their ideas to life.
Needless to say, it was as difficult as ever to choose 3 winners from each league. Our judges spent hours carefully reviewing each and every individual and team submission. Each submission was evaluated using our four key grading criteria—code quality, complexity, creativity, and presentation. Even if you didn't place in this Hackathon, we highly encourage all students to continue their amazing work and compete again in our next Hackathon.
Thank you everyone, and be sure to look out for our next Hackathon! We'll be holding Hackathons throughout the year, so stay tuned for updates on our Hackathon page.

What is the Juni Hackathon?
Hackathons are an invaluable experience for engineers of all backgrounds. They give both advanced and new coders the opportunity to collaborate with others, show off their creative skills, and learn from hands-on experience.
However, Hackathons are often day-long events limited to college students or adults, and held at physical venues that can be hard for some to attend. Despite all odds, Juni was determined to make the hackathon experience accessible for passionate young coders all over the country.
And thus, the Juni Hackathon was born!
What’s great about our Hackathon?
- Free to compete
- 100% online - you only need a computer and internet connection!
- Open to various ages, and levels of coding experience
- Win prizes!
Stay tuned for our next Hackathon, and register early to be the first to know our project prompts.
This May Hackathon was our 3rd Hackathon of 2020, following our Winter Wonderland Hackathon in February and Earth Day Hackathon in April. We'll be hosting even better Hackathons this year, coming soon!
