will be scored on creativity and how their project furthers the idea of
“Staying Connected” after the pandemic ends!

*W**elcome Back: Local Businesses*

With the world slowly transitioning back to in-person lifestyles, local
businesses need a larger push than ever before to get back up and running
for a greater chance of success. Entries in this category will be scored on
their insight and how their project would help local businesses “Welcome
Back” their clientele!

*E**nhanced Mindfulness: Physical and Mental Health*

As people became more isolated and worked, studied, or stayed at home
during the pandemic, physical and mental health has been
front-and-center.Entries in this category will be scored on their ingenuity
and how their project would either continue or cultivate an “Enhanced
Mindfulness” toward peoples’ personal wellbeing.


 *Win Prizes*


All attendees who attend the event or submit a project, are eligible to a
swag bag which will be shipped directly to the student's address. This bag
will include a T-shirt, stickers, goodies, and sponsor related merch.

Furthermore, the teams who win in their track, will win prizes such as
technology, donation to a cause of their choice, and more!


 *Network with Companies*

During our event, there will be mentorship and networking opportunities
with top companies such as Meta (formerly Facebook), T-Mobile, Microsoft,
and more. Students can use this opportunity to ask the representatives for
advice on entering tech and also submit their resumes, if wanted, for a
potential internship!



 *Engage with Workshops and Speakers*


There will be two exciting workshops during SWE Hacks '22, one led by Meta
which focuses on technical skills and expertise and another by a software
engineer who will give advice on interning, interviewing, and getting into
the field of technology. We will also have a keynote speaker and Major
League Hackathon representative who will give insight on how women and
nonbinary individuals can explore and join STEM and technology.
