List of hackathons in Newburgh, United States in 2016

Anyways, Here's the Thing and Discourse are glad to present Playground Series II -  ”High” Tech “High tech” would seem, at first glance, to be simply a matter of more technology. However, Martin Heidegger, a great Continental philosopher once discovered that in the Greek root of technology, techne — is generally translated as “art,” “skill,” or “craft”.  The relationship between art and technology, so visible in the Greek techne, has always been basic to technology, to its “essence”. “Blinded” by the industrial revolution and capitalism movement, modern technology has been concerned solely with functionality, mechanical reproduction, controlling and being controlled. Today, we start to see that once again, technology is being exposed to matters of representation, aesthetics, and style. The essence of technology becomes a matter of ongoing change or movement that is about “unsecuring”, “revealing” ,“unleashing” and “dismantling”. It's indeterministic, permeable, open-ended in nature, just like the Greek Techne - Art We are excited to have Amelia Winger-Bearskin, Jesse Harding, Yifan Hu and Yuxi Cao to join us for the night. They will share with us their experiments on “bewitching” modern technology, and bestowing “Low” tech with the enchanted aura of the aesthetic realm where it once belonged - “High” tech.

Every industry is tech now and as such share a role in shaping the technology we use. Also companies with the highest representation of women leadership see a 34% higher ROI than those with few or no women. It's not only the right thing to do to support women in tech; it helps the bottom line. WWCode Matters to the World.Women Who Code is in 20+ countries and supports over 80,000 women aroundthe world. We hear stories every day of career and life trajectories changing course due to women learning technical skills from our programs. They also make more. Software development is one of the fastest growing job sectors in the world economy and is projected to grow by 23%. These careers pay 42% higher than other jobs. When women make more, they reinvest 90% of their income back into their families and communities, thus creating a virtuous cycle or multiplier effect for supporting women to earn more overall. It's the "rising tide lifts all boats" phenomenon.  Space is limited. Attending guests will experience delectable eats, libations, inspiration and more. We hope you will join us in changing the face of the tech industry on this Giving Tuesday.  Thank you to Galvanize and our community partners and sponsors for making this evening possible.
