What is FuturistFest 2021?
FuturistFest is a hackathon brought to you by 'Stem Like Her' and Futurism Magazine. We were inspired by the technological advancements being introduced around the world and wanted to provide an opportunity for people to become a part of such social innovation. This international event is open to those aged 13+ of all genders and participants can enter in groups of 1-4. Check out our prompt below!
