For community building, we're currently looking for interested students for Seahawks. We've extended the registration deadline to March 14, which is this Saturday. And in the meantime so we would like all of the commissioners to reach out to their schools and, like, continue spreading the word about our event. In the meantime, we're currently looking for sponsors, that can help us give, prizes to our top three winners, and we're also currently searching for judges from our community that can volunteer to look through the hackathon projects. Does anyone wanna add on?

And throughout our event, because it is a twelve hour hackathon, we do want commissioners to be volunteering their time to make the event run and, like, to keep the event going. Currently, we're thinking of having four three hour shifts, and we would like three commissioners to be on each shift if possible. So we will be contacting the commissioners about that as well. For new engagement, Lisa, Myra, and Anisha were able to be up over the library.
