Sunday Hacks

Students on the economic fringe will learn to code over five weeks

August 23 - September 27, 2020 @ Lowell Elementary School

Low-income students are systematically discouraged from pursuing tech. Over five weeks, we will teach CS and app development to students in East San Jose. Afterwards, participants will showcase their projects at the STEM Fair and earn scholarships for higher education.
