Are you a Christian in tech, quant, or design, and long to integrate your talents with your faith? Are you a data scientist or an AI Ph.D. wanting to create startups that disrupt the faith realm? Are you a coder or designer looking to apply your skills to faith beyond the limited opportunities of AV or website tasks at church? Consider joining Faith-Ventures, a community of Christian with STEM or design backgrounds, exploring faith-related innovations and applications, through startup brainstorming, design sprints and hackathons. Previous introductory sessions described our vision and strategies for Faith-Ventures, and dived into brainstorming sessions. This event continues our brainstorming, but offers quick intro to newcomers as well. Note that this particular session of Faith-Ventures Meetup will be conducted in Chinese, (but feel free to contact the organizer for more information and get notified for the upcoming summer sessions that will be conducted in English ).

NOTE: Available slots are very limited. We cannot allow in participants who are not signed up. If you sign up and find you cannot attend, please change your ticket order to allow in someone from the waiting list.   What is Hack the Future? Hack the Future is an all-day party / hackathon for young adults to show you what it's like to be a hacker and see if it's for you. We won't tell you what to do. You'll be free to work on whatever you want. We'll try to keep you from getting stuck, and we'll give you a place to start (if you want one). This is a unique opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art software, hardware design, and engineering from mentors working for Bay Area startups as well as big companies like Google, Nvidia, Intel, Facebook and Microsoft.   What can I do at Hack the Future? You might learn how to: Make your own video games Learn to solder electronics Create a webpage Make mods for existing games like Minecraft Create things using a 3D printer Design and present a new product And a ton more Along with all the fun, lunch will be provided!   What hackers need to do: Bring a laptop.  Visit our website and install the recommended programs. Bring laptop's administrator password to install programs. Ask questions!  Try new things, and have fun!   What parents need to do: Ensure that your child has the Administrator Password for their laptop. Check hackers in at the event at 10:00am, along with these items: a copy of your ticket(s), the signed waiver form, and the medical information sheet. Tickets are required due to limited capacity. Come back at 3:45PM to see the Lightning Talks (voluntary presentations on what hackers have been working on). Come back by 5PM to check your child back out so they can go home. Additional Notes to Parents 1. Help us create an environment of independent exploration Parents are highly encouraged to drop participants off and let them explore independently, although you're welcome to check in on them if needed. Come back and check out your hackers promptly at 5PM; we'll need to clean up, and our volunteer mentors have to stay with your child until he or she is picked up.  2. Sign out when you leave with your hacker Parents it is very important to remember to sign your child out of the event! Any names which we do not have parent signatures for check-out are given a follow up by HTF volunteers to verify that your child has been picked up, so please do our volunteers a favor and save them an unnecessary call. 3. Only get a ticket for the hacker Parents, please don't reserve a ticket for yourself. Please help Hack the Future cut down on our plastic waste by bringing your own, reusable water bottle!   We Need Your Help to Keep HTF Running If you'd like to support Hack the Future, please consider making a one-time donation or becoming a monthly supporter.  Any donations go directly into our programs.  Visit our Rally Page for more information.  We are also always in need of more mentors.  If you'd like to help run one of our future events, please let us know.   Keep Hacking with Us!

It’s cool to work on designs beforehand, digital mockups, open source frameworks, and anything else available to everyone, but keep things within fair limits. 2. Code Review - Winning teams may be subject to a code-review at some point following the event or immediately before winning. This is to ensure that all code used is in fact fresh. 3. Ownership and IP - You own your IP and whatever you create. Simple as that. 4. Team Size - No more than five people. 5. Submissions - Each hackathon has its individual hackathon.io page where projects need to be submitted by the designated time. You’ll receive an email with instructions on how to do just that. 6. Demos - You’ll have 2 minutes to demo the functionality of your project and talk through your idea, and 1 minute for Q&A from judges. 7. Be cool to your fellow hackers! Check out our Code of Conduct. How is the hackathon judged?Projects will be judged based on the following criteria, with a total of 5 points per criteria: Fundability: How fundable is this idea? Is there potential for a sustainable business model? Execution: How well was the project executed and explained? Did it work? UI/UX: Beyond design, was the end-to-end user experience for the solution considered? Originality: How original, creative or unique is the idea? Scalability: How scalable is the solution?
