Sunday, December 10 Riverdale Country School5250 Fieldston Rd., Bronx, NY 10471 Sunday, April 22Galvanize NYC303 Spring StNew York, NY 10013 Special announcements:  1) Our April event's theme will be cybersecurity. We'll give more specific details at the event (and don't start on your projects beforehand!) but you should bring any physical pieces of equipment you might need. Routers, Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, satellite dishes, tin cans and string -- whatever you think might come in handy.  2) Natasha Cohen will deliver our keynote and will be a special guest consultant. This will be an incredible opportunity to meet a real, live, cybersecurity expert.  Program overview The Agile Youth Challenge™ is a hackathon for students in grades 6-12, at any NYC or area school, with any level of programming experience. AYCNYC™ connects students to industry experts, developers, and designers from all over New York City. AYCNYC was founded by members of several NYC schools. It grew out of the organizers’ desire to blend ongoing learning experiences into the immediate and intense challenges of a hackathon. AYCNYC's goal is to bring teams together in friendly competition, give them a chance to evaluate and learn from their performance back at school, and then present another chance to compete and apply what they’ve learned. Why "Agile" Youth Challenge? Agile software development philosophy encourages a nimble, responsive, and iterative approach to coding. We employ some of these principles in the AYCNYC by encouraging participants to work in sprints, iterate on their work, and quickly learn from failure. More details on Agile philosophy are here. Activities Your team will develop a solution to a problem in any language / technology of your choice. You'll work with partners, in sprints, throughout the day. By the end of the day your team will create a working prototype of your solution.  For instance, suppose you choose to improve the experience of studying a foreign language. You might design and develop a learning app that mimics the addictive gaming experience of Flappy Bird but simultaneously teaches vocabulary. Or you might design and develop a system that connects you with other language learners (utilizing social networking APIs to extend an existing social network’s reach) to build spoken language skills in an engaging and authentic way.  You can use any technology to solve the problem. Platforms could include desktop, web, and/or mobile; languages could include Java, JavaScript, Objective C, Swift, PHP, Processing, Scratch, Snap!, C#, or any others; physical devices could include computers, tablets, mobile devices, robots, boards, droids, spaceships… If you bring it, you can use it. During the day you'll have the option to consult on your project with developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and teachers. They won't solve your problems for you but they'll help you pick your way through the difficult problems you experience. At the end of the day you'll present your work to the judges. Prizes will be awarded for several levels of age and ability, as well as a single audience favorite. And everyone will take home some great swag (physical, digital, and experiential) donated by our sponsors.  Schedule  8:30am - Registration 9:00 - Welcome / Keynote / Agile intro 9:30 - Brainstorming10:00 - Sprints begin 12ish - Working lunch 3:00 - Judging4:00 - Presentations & Awards5:30 - Day ends Team structure Teams are up to five people. Your school can register as many teams as you like. We hope you'll participate in both days -- the whole point is to learn from the first experience so you can improve in the second -- but you can join either one. What should I bring? Please bring all the technology you'll use during the event. You'll need a laptop. Perhaps tablets or mobile devices. Any hardware you might incorporate: Arduino boards, sensors, wires, cables, etc. If your computer has a non-standard video out port, bring a VGA or HDMI adapter. And bring anything else you might need. Better to have it there just in case. If you do not have the equipment you need, you must specify this in your application. We can probably help, but we'll need to plan ahead.  We'll provide pizza, drinks, and snacks throughout the day. You don't need to bring food, though you're welcome to do so if you prefer or if you have any dietary restrictions.  Cost We want to give as many kids as possible the opportunity to participate in AYCNYC™, and we want all participants to go home with awesome memories and some really cool prizes... especially if they can't afford to participate in other hackathons due to the cost. We are committed to supporting all students and you can sign up for free if necessary! However, AYCNYC™ is a not-for-profit event; every paid entry helps offset our operating costs (like the suggested donation at a museum). So please help support us if you can. Transportation We provide free buses from the Upper East and Upper West Sides of Manhattan to Riverdale Country School and back. You can request transportation in your Eventbrite registration. We do not provide transportation to events in Manhattan. Sponsorship AYCNYC needs your help! This is an all-volunteer, zero-budget event. Therefore we need the following (and you could be more than one!): "Sponsors"  Sponsors provide prizes in the form of physical stuff (e.g. t-shirts, laptop stickers), digital stuff (e.g. coupons to coding-related sites), or experiential opportunities (e.g. site visits, internships, courses, virtual mentoring or teaching sessions). Sponsors can also help provide financial assistance to pay for things like drinks, lunch, and snacks. And Sponsors get to showcase their company to the participants -- by talking to them, bringing brochures or signs, giving away goodies, or some other method -- as well as with their logo on this page and on our poster at the event.Note: prizes are awarded to teams, so please consider how you will accommodate the 3-5 students on a winning team. You can not give a single-person prize, but giving multiple individual items (e.g. 10 coupons for winning team members) is fine. "Consultants"  Consultants work with the coders during the day, help them through tricky problems, and inspire them to keep going. They also evaluate the coders' work and select finalists and winners at the end of the day. 2017-18 HOSTS AND SPONSORS  Riverdale Country School   Galvanize   IBM   Explain Everything   NY Tech Alliance   Codesters   Upperline School of Code   Zahn Innovation Center   Kinet-X   Osmo   Make Excel Work for You   AMC   Bronx.TECH  Previous sponsors Amazon  Avenues: The World School   Microsoft  Bronx.TECH  Upperline School of Code  Genius  NY Tech Alliance  Codesters  CDW-G  Laconia Capital Group  Riverdale Pie Guys  Code/Interactive  Samsung Global Innovation Center  ipo  LuckyDiem  NextGenVest  wheelhouse  hopscotch  tutorlist  GoJimGo  Fornes Technologies  techstars  LiquidTalent  Wonder  Zahn Innovation Center   StartEd Accelerator  Kinet-X  Code/Interactive   Schoology
