# Bonus Week | Hack Challenge & ML Kit

For this semester's bonus week, we will be helping you get started with Android development for the Hack Challenge! Up until now, we've been providing starter code that contained the dependencies needed to implement navigation, MVVM, etc. If you feel lost on how to lay a strong foundation for your app, we hope this bonus lecture will help!

In addition to that, we will also have a bonus lecture on Google's ML Kit. Get ready to dive deep into how we can use machine learning as mobile developers!
