eHacks Events is a non-profit dedicated to providing interdisciplinary learning experiences to post-secondary students across the country. To facilitate this mission, we run competitions and events with workshops, networking, and mentorship to help students collaborate in cross-functional teams and build new skillsets.
Many of these events, like our flagship event, is free for students to attend. To ensure we focus our resources on the students who would benefit most, we require students to fill out an application to attend.
We would like to improve our website to collect these applications, manage user accounts, and inform applicants of their admission decisions. Our current website is built in Node.JS, Express, React, and MongoDB (aka the MERN stack), and we would like to build these new functionalities using the same technologies.
Students working on this project can expect to learn the following:
- Use the MERN stack to build responsive websites using modern user interface design principles
- Deploy websites via Digital Ocean using CI/CD tools
- Use Version Control software to collaborate with teams (i.e. Git and Github)
- Write comprehensive documentation to explain key decisions and build a maintainable codebase.
