List of hackathons in Watsonville, United States in 2019

An afternoon of fun and learning for kids from Grade 5 to high school.

PROJECT CONTEXT Across the country, dozens of states have enacted “second chance” legislation, designed to help Americans with criminal records to shorten or downgrade their past convictions, clean their criminal records, and/or regain the right to vote. In theory, second chance legislation removes barriers to full reintegration into society and unlocks opportunity for tens of millions of Americans. However, while many new laws have been passed, research shows that only a small fraction of those eligible for relief have received it,  Building on the passage of California Bill 1076's historic passage clearance of expungements through automation, the hackathon will work to develop data for reform efforts around the country as well as support reentry projects by several non-profit groups. Speakers will include national criminal justice changemakers and impacted leaders Antonio Reza (upcoming TedX talk: From Felony to 4.0)  and Jay Jordan, the head of Californians for Safety and Justice, which just celebrated the passage of enactment of four second chance laws in California.  After a day of hacking, we will watch the award-winning movie Life After Life and hear from a speaker from the movie.  HACKATHON DETAILS The second chances hackathon brings together advocates, public servants, students, and experts in tech and law to develop technologically-driven strategies. Working in teams, participants will receive instructions and mentorship to develop tools for criminal justice “second chances” alongside nonprofits. Participants will learn skills such as how to develop algorithms for parsing public records, and apply search criteria to expunge convictions. End products will be presented to a panel of judges at the end of the hackathon.

HarvestHacks 2019 is a first of its kind hackathon hosted by the Salinas Valley Dream Academy. The overall goal of this hackathon is to bridge the technology gap — to spark an interest in underrepresented middle school and high school students for coding, app/game/web design, software development and to educate students about the opportunities available to them in the technology industry. This coding and design event where students will learn about coding, computer programming, and software development, includes an opportunity to show what a student knows about website design, interface design, and project management.  Harvest Hacks 2019 is for EVERYONE! There will be 2 tracks at the hackathon and students can sign up for either track. TRACK #1 is for students who have not been exposed to coding or design. Students in Track #1 will be introduced to coding and will be exposed to the many opportunities that exist for students in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). TRACK #2 is for students who have some experience with coding or design. Students in Track #2 will compete for prizes at the hackathon by creating an app or designing a website related to the concept of harvest or harvesting crops, knowledge, information. These students will work in groups to create usable software or hardware with the goal of creating a functioning product or well thought out and viable schema by the end of the event. Several experienced adult mentors will be available to assist student groups throughout the entire process. The hackathon will be taking place on Saturday, October 19, 2019. It will be hosted at Hartnell College's brand new, state of the art STEM building. We are anticipating that about 150-200 students will attend. We have several amazing co-sponsors including Google, Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Code As A Second Language,  Salinas Union High School District, Hartnell College, DigitalNEST, Future Citizens Foundation's Center for Learning, and Margaret Inc.
