Where Black innovation meets hacking.
Our exciting weekly program was inspired by our annual full day BLACKATHON at Microsoft. Youth will get the chance to learn about a Black inventor and then go deep in creating, hacking, prototyping, and reiterating their own unique invention that solves an interesting problem.
They will be tasked with creating something that is both entertaining and teaches a skill then be offered a mix of old school supplies like cassette tapes and floppy discs and new technology like 3D pens and printers. With mentorships, teams, guidance they will get to create their own projects.
Our program is designed to increase critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, teamwork, design, and presentation skills. They will also learn the fundamentals of debate and pitching to best showcase their creations.
Participants will be led through a complete process of brainstorming, prototyping, and iterating until they have their own invention to show for it by the end which they will have to change to present on Saturday June 8th from 10am - 2pm.
This program will be facilitated by Charlie Wu and PJ XXX
