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!

Background The Embassy of France in th US, in partnership with the University of San Francisco Data Institute, Big Data Hubs West, and Berkeley Institute of Data Science is excited to host a student hackathon to encourage Franco-US integration, particularly in higher education. After 3 succesful editions in Washington DC, we are hosting our first edition in San Francisco. This hackathon is open to technical and non-technical participants alike, focused on creating static and dynamic data visualizations to explore Franco-US cultural integration through student travel. The goal is to use data storytelling to identity and better target students based in US in order to attract them to study abroad in France. Topic: Visualization Challenge - "Visualize That Student!" The Higher Education Department of the Embassy of France in the US plays a key role in promoting opportunities and advocating for education abroad. As part of its hope for resurgence, France is looking to engage communities worldwide as part of a greater campaign to exclaim that “France is Back!” One particular focus is on higher education and educating students looking to study in foreign countries, particularly students in the United States. Where in the past year the Embassy has charged its team to advocate and examine the ways that students find programs, this year their team, as an extension of Campus France, looks to build a marketing campaign to engage and inform. Submissions may include (but are not limited to) a marketing campaign, data visualizations of provided French study abroad data and websites matching students to desired study abroad destinations. Key Details WHEN: Saturday, April 21, 9 AM - 7:30 PM (final presentations begin at 6:30 PM) WHERE: University of San Francisco, The Data Institute, 101 Howard St, San Francisco, CA-94105 Teams of 3-4 will form and compete until presentations at 6:30 PM.Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided. Prizes The Embassy of France in the US will offer 3 prizes: 1st prize-Dinner at a French restaurant in San Francisco for the team, 2nd prize-Happy Hour at a French wine bar in San Francisco, 3rd prize-Decathlon voucher (the famous French sports gear/equipment company that just opened on Market street). Special thanks to Meredith Lee, Nicholas Ross, Chris Holdgraf, and Joseph Nelson

We’re a club that provides kids learning opportunities that are self-guided where kids determine their interests in exploring and creating code in a family-friendly learning environment. They are free to talk to their friends, meet new people, start new group projects, move around, and check out what other kids are doing — in short have FUN! We host sessions once to twice a month, have occasional special events, like hackathons and pizza parties, sometimes there are prizes, usually tasty snacks, but always there’s a welcome, supportive, atmosphere where kids can learn and still be…kids! 

DESCRIPTION Join us for the first ever Genentech / BCHT Hackathon!  Come spend the day ideating and networking with Genentech and fellow graduate students on a question of strategic importance to Genentech and the patients it serves.  Please read below for details on the event, we hope you can make it! Challenge/Prompt Genentech's Access Solutions team is a key cog in the company.  Their mission is to help patients access the Genentech medicines they need.  After a Genentech product is prescribed, Access Solutions helps providers and patients navigate questions regarding insurance coverage, reimbursement, and financial support.  Learn more about Access Solutions services at https://www.genentech-access.com/hcp.html. As the US healthcare space and patient needs evolve, so must Access Solutions.  Therefore, we are challenging Hackathon teams to create a scalable, sustainable, and flexible Access Solutions operating model that simultaneously allows them to address annual volume growth (without adding staff proportionally) and prepares them to best serve the patient of tomorrow.  Specifically, we'd like teams to consider: What innovative approaches or technologies might Access Solutions adopt to scale their services cost effectively? As Genentech’s portfolio expands into new therapeutic areas, how might Access Solutions address the needs of increasingly diverse patient populations? How might Access Solutions services need to evolve given macro trends in healthcare and consumerism? To help teams consider this challenge, Genentech will make a background information slide deck available digitally starting 4/13 and present that information live at the start of the Hackathon.  Additionally, Genentech Access Solutions and managed care experts will be available throughout the day of the Hackathon to talk through questions. Structure Teams of 4-5 will spend the day working together to generate innovative approaches to the strategic challenge outlined below.  At the end of the day, teams submit a short deliverable and live presentation of that deliverable to a team of Genentech experts.  Following the event, a Genentech team will evaluate the deliverables and decide upon one winning team and one runner-up. The winning team will receive $5,000 and the runner-up will receive $2,500. In order to facilitate team formation, we are asking students to please use this Google Doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CAIB2gzj7UcxELwthIgkkGoPSyrVHu9-p91dB8oWJeo/edit?usp=sharing) to sign up for a team in addition to registering through this Eventbrite page.  Please don't forget to do both! Logistics Date: April 20, 2018 Location: Haas Innovation Lab Time: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
