I was at @MLHacks Rookie Hacks this weekend, a virtual hackathon for beginners.
Seeing people learn new skills together to build things that affect their communities made me feel hopeful at the end of this difficult week.
I wanted to share some projects I especially liked.

1. ShareCare is an app that donates as you educate yourself.
It's focused on COVID awareness ($1 after each completed quiz to a hospital of your choice).
I imagine this being used to encourage people to educate themselves about other issues.

2. Find A Safe Space is an app that helps you find all-gender restrooms on college campuses.
I take restrooms I can use in public spaces for granted. Locating a restroom that's not just M or W is hard and badly documented!
Grateful that this app exists.

3. TecConnect is an app that aims to redistribute tech resources from (currently closed) schools to students in low-income communities while we're in quarantine to make online learning more accessible. 
4. Recycle Bun is a game that teaches you about recycling.
The team learned @unity3d and C# this weekend to build an adorable bullet dodge where you play a bunny who has to put items in the correct recycling bin.
Did I mention that it's adorable?

5. This one is more funny than anything.
Guzzler is an app that educates you on how much detergent and gasoline is safe to drink.
Hint: the answer is zero!
