MAS Hacks is a free 12 hour hackathon aimed at students from the three high schools in Alhambra Unified School District. No previous coding experience is required!
We want to ensure that all students are able to explore and mature a desire in the field of computer science by providing opportunities for software and career development
Fit Forge, created by Ruize Tian, Cory Tsan, Devin Liang, is an interactive app designed to display information about the muscles in the body. When asked about what inspired the creation of this project, the team pointed at recent increased interest in working out at the gym. There were risks to working out muscles, so the team created an app tailored towards safe workouts. In addition to wanting to bring important knowledge to users, the team also wanted to implement useful side features such as an interval timer and a BMI convertor. With their creativity and teamwork, they were able to create an app that won first place.
Using GDevelop as a base, Dungeon Defenders is a top-down shooter where players defend themselves by shooting bones at monsters. The goal is to survive the longest, and kill monsters increases your score. The game was created by Francisco Ortega, who took inspiration from a game called Brotatoe, took key parts of the Brotatoe. The finished product was fun to play, earning it a solid second place.
Online Casino Simulation was made by a group of four students: Aidan Phu, Peter Lin, Felix Zheng, and Jonathan Yu. The simulation featured Blackjack, Slots, and a shop to exchange money won. The player can sell off their property for more currency to gamble. Their inspiration stems from the insurgence of online gambling and its popularity on social media. The team wanted to use their project to spread awareness of gambling addiction and show how easy it is to sacrifice personal property and wealth for enjoyment and pleasure. The team hopes more people realize this fact and distance themselves from gambling to better their lives.
